The University of Notre Dame Australia
Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Science
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationThe field of science is continuously evolving, with areas such as genetics, biotechnology, public health and safety underpinned by a rigorous legal framework. Designed to be completed over five years of full-time study, the combined Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Science is perfect if you wish to combine your love of the law with your passion for science.
When you undertake the legal component of your degree, you will receive an education plan in collaboration with some of Australia’s top judges, barristers and solicitors. A focus on experiential learning also means that you have multiple opportunities to develop valuable skills such as public speaking, advocacy, dispute resolution and mooting.
The scientific elements of your double degree are equally practical. Over your studies, you will complete five core Science courses and seven courses to form a Science stream in Biology & Environment, Environment & Heritage, Human & Medical Science or Multidisciplinary Science. You will then undertake a Science Internship in your third year to develop your skills in data analysis and research.
