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

Curtin's Bachelor of Laws program delivers the foundational qualification 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 program provides a comprehensive, practice-oriented legal education. You'll develop essential legal skills while cultivating commercial acumen. Early in your studies, you'll appreciate the significance of upholding the rule of law and the ethical obligations of legal professionals.

The curriculum includes elective units covering diverse fields like forensic advocacy, family law, human rights law, Indigenous title law, and legal technology. These options allow you to customize your degree according to your professional interests.

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

The program's first three years follow a semester structure at Curtin Perth, with the final year plus one trimester conducted at Curtin Law School's city campus. Full-time students can earn 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 urban campus facilitates valuable connections with faculty, practicing lawyers, and judiciary professionals, while providing proximity to major courts including the Supreme, District, and Federal Courts.
