Bachelor of Criminal and Community Justice / Bachelor of Laws
Tailor your studies and graduate with two degrees. You'll get excellent practical legal skills and criminal justice skills relevant to professional employment.
The criminal and community justice and laws double degree structure allows concurrent study in the two degrees in the first three years, with the last two years dedicated to completing the Law component. The Law component provides you with professional legal skills, including the ability to analyse legal material, understand fundamental legal principles, understand the relationship between law and society, and gain general analytical skills for critical thinking and problem-solving. Our extensive range of elective units allows you to further develop your skills in advocacy, mediation, legal drafting and legal research. Your skills will be developed using our extensive law library and moot courts located on our Campbelltown and Parramatta campuses.
