This double degree gives students the skills required to deal with complex legal issues stemming from new industries, combined with an understanding of people giving you the skills to help them through challenging times such as homelessness, addiction, abuse, mental illness, poverty, ageing and discrimination

Studies in the areas of social work practice and social and behavioural sciences equip you to find practical solutions to help people reduce stress and improve their quality of life.

The Law degree aims to develop graduates who have excellent analytical skills, a capacity for scholarly research, effective oral and written communication skills, and a commitment to personal and professional development, ethical practice and social responsibility.

There is a strong emphasis on practical skills, with professional-practice courses running from the first year, while field placements and clinics provide opportunities to apply classroom learning to real-life situations, either in Australia or overseas.
