Overview

The Laws with Arts B.Law/BA program from The University of Notre Dame Australia is an exciting degree that allows you to tailor your studies to your particular field of interest. Because of the unique way this program has been designed, you will be able to develop your skills and knowledge in the Arts, while focusing on these topics within the legal context.

For example:

Students who choose to Major in Behavioural Science will develop their insights into human behaviour – a skill that will prove particularly useful when assembling a criminal profile or cross-examining a witness.
Students who undertake a Major in Social Justice can capitalise on the social justice focus of the Law School by taking courses in areas such as human rights law or law and war.
Students who wish to work in not-for-profit or NGOs will find that a Major in Social Justice or Politics & International Relations sets them apart from the crowd.

Regardless of the specialist area you choose to pursue, a combined degree in Laws and Arts will ensure your legal training is supplemented by practical insights into your chosen industry. Many law firms and government departments prefer double degrees over single law degrees. By doing this combined degree, you become extremely marketable in the modern workplace.
