Summary

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.
