A connected law and business degree, built for today’s workplaces
UC’s Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Business brings law and business together in a way that reflects how they’re used in practice. You’ll focus on corporate and commercial law, build your ability to solve real legal problems, and shape your degree with electives in areas such as IT, accounting, human resources and marketing.
If you’re aiming to move into management, you’ll develop a strong understanding of core business areas, along with the practical skills you’ll need to adapt in changing workplaces. You’ll be supported by experienced teachers who’ll help you build your legal knowledge and advocacy skills, while showing you how law connects to its theory, history and real-world application.
You’ll learn in small classes, with access to modern facilities and strong industry connections. Through our links to employers across Canberra’s public sector, law firms and NGOs, the National Centre for Corporate Law and the National Institute of Governance, you’ll start building your professional network early. You’ll also have opportunities to apply what you’ve learned. Complete a law internship, study overseas, or fast-track your progress through our winter term.
Combine a Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Laws at UC and you will:
- Build a strong foundation in law, preparing you for legal practice or related careers.
- Communicate clearly and work across professional and cultural contexts.
- Focus your law studies on areas of interest, with an emphasis on commercial law.
- Develop skills across key business areas, including human resources, finance, accounting, marketing and business analytics.
- Learn to analyse problems, think critically and evaluate information in a structured and practical way.
Career opportunities
With a Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Business, you’ll graduate with the qualifications and skills to move across both legal and business settings. You could go on to work as a:
- Barrister
- Solicitor
