Bachelor of Laws

Designed and taught by practicing lawyers and academics, Deakin’s accredited Bachelor of Laws integrates sound legal training with real-world experience, developing key skills in problem-solving, analytical thinking, and ethical reasoning.

Are you looking for a degree that prepares you for a leading legal or professional career?

Deakin's Bachelor of Laws attracts some of the brightest and best students in Australia and our graduates enjoy high employment rates in dynamic roles across law, business, journalism, public administration, private enterprise, and politics.

A distinctive feature of Deakin’s law degree is the focus on experiential learning. The legal profession is highly commercialized and lawyers are increasingly required to provide clients with practical, commercial, and governance advice, in addition to legal expertise. As credit towards your degree, you will undertake work-integrated learning placements. You may be placed at law firms, legal aid providers, and government offices that deliver the legal skills and experience that employers are looking for in the competitive job market.

Throughout your degree, you’ll develop practical legal skills, including:

negotiation
mediation
preparing for court appearances
legal drafting
statutory interpretation.

You’ll also develop transferable skills that will launch you on a variety of career paths. That could mean entering the business sector in almost any industry or government service in areas such as law reform, politics, or public administration.

Work experience

This course provides students the opportunity to complete one or more elective work integrated learning units.

Campus Information

Melbourne Burwood

The Melbourne Burwood Campus is Deakin’s largest. A short trip from Melbourne’s central business district, Burwood offers the perfect balance between city lifestyle and suburban comfort. On campus you will find impressive buildings and world-class facilities, a wide range of learning and social spaces, and a relaxed atmosphere. If you enjoy getting outdoors between classes, the Melbourne Burwood Campus also sits alongside parkland, which is great for walking, jogging and cycling.

Geelong Waterfront Campus

Located in the heart of Geelong, the Geelong Waterfront Campus has spectacular views of the bay. Used as wool stores in the 19th century, this campus has been renovated to create an impressive, modern space that offers an inspiring study environment. The unique mix of old and new allows for engaging and creative spaces, and its central location means students can visit Geelong’s central business district between classes. In 2019 a new ferry travelling between Melbourne and Geelong was launched. The ferry offers a comfortable and convenient mode of transport. It docks a short walk from the Geelong Waterfront Campus. Train and bus services are also regularly available between Geelong and Melbourne.
