The Bachelor of International Relations aims to prepare students for a career in a globalised economy. Global and regional interdependence means that no nation – least of all Australia – is unaffected by developments beyond its borders. National survival is now based on international orientation; businesses, governments and organisations need people equipped not only with relevant professional skills but also with competencies in international relations. The Bachelor of Laws prepares students for a career as a legal professional, both within Australia and overseas. It provides students with a thorough grounding in essential areas of substantive law and access to a wide choice of law elective subjects, including the option of completing a specialisation. An integrated skills and professionalism program is embedded in the degree and focuses on core legal skills essential to the practice of law. The Bachelor of Laws provides an engaging learning experience that challenges students academically and prepares them practically for a legal career. Professional outcomes The Bachelor of International Relations / Bachelor of Laws enables you to graduate with two undergraduate degrees. The combined degree provides you with the professional outcomes and opportunities of both individual degrees. Please refer to the individual programs for professional outcomes. Completing this combined program will provide opportunities for a range of careers in private, government and not for profit sectors. Graduates may seek to practise law whilst utilising an understanding of the global environment, or employ their understanding of Law to work in industries with a global perspective such as Diplomacy, Foreign Affairs or International Business with a background in compliance, regulation and intellectual property.
