Understanding the law is one thing, but it's another to communicate clearly, think creatively, relate to your clients, or understand the broader context of your work. An arts degree will provide practical knowledge that can enhance your law skills.
The Bachelors of Arts/Laws (Honours) combines the versatility and breadth of an arts degree with the in-depth study of the concepts, principles, policies and values of the law, both in Australia and in other jurisdictions.
Study a law program that is distinguished by its rigour, depth and conceptual sophistication. You'll develop a high-level understanding of the law, along with personal and professional skills that are transferable across careers and contexts.
Complement your law studies and broaden your knowledge by studying our Arts majors. Choose from over 40 majors and gain an understanding of the humanities, fine arts, languages, political sciences or many more fields.
Challenge yourself to think about the world in new ways and discover what, over centuries, humans have experienced, created or thought. You'll better understand history, society, people and culture, so you can begin to imagine and shape the future.
