About Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/Bachelor of Arts (107090D)
Today’s workplaces are rapidly evolving. Governments, businesses and law firms need passionate professionals who not only have advanced legal expertise, but also the ability to think critically, analytically and creatively.
La Trobe University's Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/Bachelor of Arts lets students enrich their legal education by pursuing their interests and passions. The degree opens doors to a diverse range of rewarding careers, while exploring how to make a difference in many communities.
Students will learn the fundamentals of criminal, constitutional, property and company law. They will explore the legal system and understand how it can be used as a powerful and positive force in society. Students will develop key skills in advocacy, negotiation and dispute resolution.
Students will also choose from La Trobe University's list of arts majors and explore their area of interest. The course will broaden knowledge and experiences by studying areas like politics, languages, sociology, history, philosophy and media studies.
Students will learn how to communicate effectively and think critically, analytically and creatively. They can also choose to complete law electives that complement their arts specialization. For example, a politics major can be matched with related subjects like public international law and human rights law. While a language or philosophy major could be augmented by subjects in areas like Indigenous Australians and the law, intellectual property law or family, society and law.
Students can enhance classroom learning by taking advantage of optional internships, work experience, and La Trobe University's study abroad program. They will gain hands-on experience working with community legal centers, law firms and government agencies. Students will find out what it takes to interview clients, prepare legal advice and work with senior lawyers to develop legal solutions.
Students will graduate ready to make a positive difference. With combined expertise in law and arts, graduates can build a career as a solicitor or barrister, in-house counsel or corporate consultant, working in commercial law firms or community legal centers. They could also work in the public service as a government lawyer or support social justice initiatives in the not-for-profit sector.
