Bachelor of Laws

Gain the ideal combination of skill sets for careers in science and technology innovation; and expand your career opportunities significantly within legal, business, government and non-profit organisations. In the Bachelor of Laws, you’ll learn the core skills required for legal practice and build a strong commercial awareness. Importantly, you’ll learn the importance of the rule of law and the responsibilities and ethics of legal practice. You’ll also be able to study optional units – in areas such as forensic advocacy, family law, human rights law, native title law and policy, and law and technology – so that you can tailor your degree to your interests. In the Bachelor of Science course, you'll choose one of six majors available – Chemistry, Data Science, Earth Sciences, Environmental Biology and Ecology, Environmental Science, and Information and Communication Technology – and gain comprehensive knowledge and skills in that field. You’ll study the first three years of your course at Curtin Perth. Your fourth year, plus one trimester, is delivered at Curtin Law School at our Perth city campus, where you can gain practical experience by undertaking simulated proceedings in our high-tech moot court and working on real cases at the John Curtin Law Clinic. You’ll also benefit greatly from your relationships with academics, and practising solicitors and barristers based at Curtin Law School.
