About this qualification

Here is what the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) Combined qualification offered by University of Newcastle covers and who it is designed for.

Our Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is your entry to a career as a lawyer, or a range of other professions where a passion for justice and attention to detail are key. This degree is offered as a combined program, which means you combine Laws with another degree and get two qualifications in only five years of study.

If you want to be a practising lawyer, you can also complete the Diploma in Legal Practice which merges traditional legal education with skills training and practical legal experience. Students who complete the Diploma in Legal Practice will not have to complete postgraduate professional training or a period of practical legal experience before practising as a solicitor, as placement opportunities are available through the program.

You can choose to combine the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) with the following degrees:

Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws (Honours): Broaden your understanding of legal issues by seeing them across a wider context. This combination will complement your legal knowledge with an understanding of how society functions.
Bachelor of Biomedicine/Bachelor of Laws (Honours): Develop a deep understanding of scientific, biotechnology, and legal principles, which can be applied in commercial and regulatory contexts.
Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Laws (Honours): Combine specialist legal knowledge with a strong understanding of business practice. This is a valued and useful asset for a career such as an in-house lawyer.
Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws (Honours): Improve your understanding of important legislation that is relevant to accounting, finance and economics.
Bachelor of Criminology/Bachelor of Laws (Honours): Gain a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between criminology, psychology and law, and how these disciplines combined contribute to the regulation of the lives of individuals, communities, and societies.
Bachelor of Development Studies/Bachelor of Laws (Honours): Development Studies focuses on key global issues in a local, national or international context. Advocate for change and make a real difference in issues like development, poverty and inequality.
Bachelor of Global Indigenous Studies/Bachelor of Laws (Honours): Broaden your understanding of the social, political and justice issues impacting Indigenous communities in Australia and around the world, and make a real and meaningful impact.
Bachelor of Media and Communication/Bachelor of Laws (Honours): Be at the forefront of constantly developing laws and regulations that impact the media and communication industry.
Bachelor of Psychological Science / Bachelor of Laws (Honours):
Students completing this combined degree meet the academic requirement to practise law in NSW, and acquire skills and knowledge through their psychological science studies. Psychological science is a fascinating area which examines the cause of human behaviour. This understanding is then used to solve practical problems that will positively impact the lives of others.
Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Laws (Honours): Apply your scientific knowledge to a range of legal contexts including industry, agriculture, and the information revolution.
Bachelor of Social Science/Bachelor of Laws (Honours): The Bachelor of Social Science combination is ideal if you are interested in improving social justice, anti- discrimination, and human rights.
