What will I learn?

This comprehensive double degree helps you stand out from the crowd and lends a competitive edge. You'll develop an understanding of modern business with sound commercial knowledge, as well as the skills to become a legal practitioner and specialise in areas such as forensic accounting, company law, or property law just to name a few. You'll be in demand from law firms and public and private sector organisations both here in Australia and internationally.

Business acumen is fundamental to your success. As part of your business foundation you will learn through gamified business simulations based on real-world situations. You will also learn to understand core business terms and concepts and discover how operations and finance decisions support organisations. Microsoft certification is embedded into units in the degree, so you'll graduate with strong foundation in the Microsoft programs favoured by employers.

In today's world, you need professional, technical and cross-cultural skills. All our units are embedded with the United Nations sustainable goals and our intercultural communication module is designed to build cultural awareness and communication skills which are vital in the global workplace. You can further extend your intercultural experience by taking part in a Global Virtual Classroom, studying at our Rome Campus or participating in an international study tour.

For your legal studies, we're committed to helping you become a confident, ethical lawyer with the skills and knowledge to make a real contribution to the legal profession. You'll have an opportunity to join mooting competitions, take part in the analysis of complex cases and law, and put it all into practice with pro bono work while you study.
