Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Commerce in Bentley Australia | Curtin University

Curtin's Bachelor of Laws program delivers the foundational credentials required for legal practice in Australia. Pairing this with a Bachelor of Commerce – specializing in accounting, taxation, economics, finance, marketing, or human resources – enhances your career with valuable business expertise.

Our law curriculum provides a comprehensive, practice-oriented legal education. You'll develop essential legal skills while cultivating strong commercial acumen. Early in your studies, you'll appreciate the significance of upholding the rule of law and the ethical obligations inherent in legal professions.

The program offers elective units across diverse fields including forensic advocacy, family law, human rights legislation, native title law, and legal technology. These choices allow you to customize your degree according to your professional interests.

Complementing your legal studies with a Commerce degree equips you with specialized business competencies. This dual qualification proves particularly valuable for careers in commercial law, corporate governance, policy development, or executive leadership roles.

The program structure spans three years of semester-based study at Curtin Perth, followed by a fourth year plus one trimester at Curtin Law School's city campus. Full-time students can complete both degrees in just 4.5 years.

At our Perth City location, you'll gain hands-on experience through mock trials in our advanced moot court and real-case work at the John Curtin Law Clinic. The school's connections with legal professionals and proximity to major courts provide exceptional networking and learning opportunities.

Curtin's career-focused approach integrates industry engagement throughout your studies. Through specialized courses, mentorship initiatives, volunteer work, and professional placements, you'll graduate with immediately applicable skills and knowledge, prepared to make an impact from your first day in the workforce.
