Laws and Arts Bachelor's degree (honours)/Bachelor's degree
Law and Arts are both solid starts to your career, but combining them both into a Bachelor of Arts and Law double degree will enhance your options and professional expertise.
A defining feature of the Monash Law course is the large number of specialist units available, enabling you to optimise your study pathway in line with your professional aspirations.
Pair your Law degree with around 40 Arts majors and minors in subjects such as diverse as bioethics, criminology, international relations, holocaust or genocide studies. Or indulge your passion for the performing arts, language, music or theatre.
No matter where you’re headed, there is a Monash pathway to help you get there.
The Bachelor of Arts and Law double degree leads to two separate qualifications:
- the Bachelor of Laws (Honours), and
- the Bachelor of Arts.
Through a double degree, you will gain all the benefits of each degree course and be fully equipped to pursue a career in either field separately or to combine the two in your chosen work.
A Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts degree offers a solid foundation in the concepts, procedures and reasoning underpinning the Australian legal system and the research, analytical and communication skills of the legal profession.
Through your Arts studies, you will learn how to think critically and creatively, to resist easy answers or simplistic solutions, and to develop an ethical and intellectual framework within which to understand what it means to be human and how this changes over time.
