Take an undergraduate degree then add law to enhance your career prospects.

The Bachelor of Laws at the University of Canberra is not only for those seeking to work in the legal profession, it is also a viable option for anyone looking to gain a competitive edge in any profession.

Studying law gives students additional skills and knowledge that make them a preferred employee in most fields. Students learn Australian and international law with strong practical application, and also acquire greatly enhanced skills in areas such as communication, negotiation, research and analysis. A professional qualification coupled with Law can take you to higher positions faster.

If you want to work in the legal profession or the justice sector generally, a double degree with Law is the best way to go for wider opportunities and stronger employment prospects. If you do not have the grades to enter Law directly, start on the partner degree of your choice, attain a credit average in your first year at Uni, and then transfer into that double degree.  

With a wide range of double degrees on offer, it is now easier than ever for students to include law in their undergraduate program. Studying a combined degree means you receive two qualifications from just five years of study (Full-time load).
