Bachelor of Politics and International Relations/ Bachelor of Laws (SCSC02.1)

Focusing on the principles, concepts and issues that are shaping Australia’s national security and the world and exploration of corporate and commercial law and practical legal problem solving, UC’s Bachelor of Politics and International Relations/Bachelor of Laws will lay the foundations for a fascinating career and make you shine.

You’ll learn about democratically informed citizenship, contemporary issues in politics and policy, national security, the challenges of modern terrorism and contemporary regional politics in the Asia Pacific and beyond. Imagine being part of discussions about the implications of the neoliberal policy ascendency in Australia, Brexit, the Trump presidency, war, energy security and marriage equality.

UC’s qualified and experienced staff will help you make better sense of the world you live in and recognise how to meet current social and political challenges. You’ll also be encouraged to develop your advocacy abilities and legal skills while understanding their connections to the theory and history of law.

Supporting your development as a socially responsible and ethical professional will be UC’s small class sizes, state-of-the-art facilities and ties with the National Centre for Corporate Law and National Institute of Governance. You’ll also benefit from the relationships the University has forged with law firms, the public sector (a huge employer in Canberra) and non-government organisations (otherwise known as NGOs).

What’s more, you will get to apply your talents in the real world with opportunities to complete a law internship and study overseas and be able to fast-track your course during our winter term. The Bachelor of Laws has professional accreditation with the Supreme Court of the ACT and New South Wales and allows students in their final year of study to begin their Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice.
