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

Curtin's Bachelor of Laws program delivers the foundational qualification required to become a practicing lawyer 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.

This law degree provides a comprehensive, practice-oriented legal education, equipping you with essential skills for legal work while developing commercial acumen. Early in your studies, you'll understand the significance of upholding the rule of law and the ethical obligations of legal professionals.

Elective units allow specialization in diverse fields like forensic advocacy, family law, human rights law, Indigenous land rights, and legal technology, letting you customize your degree to match your interests.

The complementary Commerce degree builds industry-specific business skills, particularly valuable for careers in corporate law, employment law, governance, policy development, or management roles.

The program's first three years follow a semester structure at Curtin Perth, with the final year and an additional trimester conducted at Curtin Law School's city campus. Full-time students can earn both degrees in just 4.5 years.

At the Perth City campus, 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 location offers exceptional networking with legal academics and practitioners, plus proximity to major courts including the Supreme, District, and Federal Courts.
