If you're an aspiring politician aiming to influence Australian legislation or a dedicated journalist seeking to cover the nation's legal updates, legal knowledge is invaluable. The University of Notre Dame Australia offers a dynamic Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Arts (Politics & Journalism) dual degree, providing both foundational legal training for future lawyers and insights into contemporary politics, global affairs, and journalism. Begin your educational path by reaching out to us today. This combined Law and Politics & Journalism program opens doors to diverse career opportunities in legal, political, or media fields. While numerous legal professionals transition into politics, this qualification also prepares you for roles as government policy advisors at state or federal levels. Furthermore, our Bachelor of Laws meets accreditation requirements for legal practice, teaching both fundamental legal ethics and their practical applications.
Studying at the School of Law offers a rewarding and engaging experience. With intentionally small class sizes (averaging 31 students in recent years), you'll benefit from personalized attention and accessible faculty members. Guided by the School's Catholic values, our educators prioritize exceptional teaching and student support. The University fosters each student's growth, encouraging them to realize their potential and create meaningful societal impact. Notre Dame's law program emphasizes core legal foundations (the "Priestley" subjects) while cultivating practical abilities like public speaking, advocacy, conflict resolution, and commercial legal skills. Through mentorship initiatives and internships, students gain hands-on legal experience. Our faculty members bring extensive professional backgrounds as practicing solicitors, barristers, judges, or specialists in Canon and environmental law, ensuring students master both legal theory and real-world implementation.
