Bachelor of Laws (Honours), Bachelor of Business (Marketing)

Gain a competitive advantage by combining law with marketing and graduate with two degrees in just five years.

A double degree expands your knowledge and opens doors to a broad range of career opportunities.

You will graduate with professional honours, an advanced understanding of legal principles of Australian law and the latest legal concepts in Marketing. This legal expertise, combined with the knowledge and skills you’ll gain from your specialisation, will set you on track for a leadership career.

In your law studies you’ll gain practical real-world experience by undertaking an industry or clinic placement, a law reform project or high-level research in your final year. You’ll also be involved in mock-trials in our moot court, learning what it’s like to act as an advocate and argue a case before a judge. You can also gain valuable experience through our Legal Advice Clinic, solving legal problems of clients under the guidance of a managing solicitor.

In your marketing studies you will develop the practical skills needed to become a marketing manager - exploring consumer psychology and the scientific laws of brand growth. Your lecturers will be the very experts who advise brands like Procter & Gamble, CBS and Nestlé.

If you wish to practise law, you should also familiarise yourself with the requirements for admission as a legal practitioner in South Australia.

This degree is made up of 40 courses. You will do 24 courses in law and 16 courses in marketing.

Through practical learning experiences including mooting and witness examination, you will be prepared for legal practice upon graduation.

You'll also be able to choose from an industry or clinic placement, a law reform project or high-level research in your final year.
