The Bachelor of Arts degree is the perfect choice if you have broad interests in the humanities, visual arts, languages, archaeology and anthropology, music, or the social sciences. Many degree programs are structured to train students for one job. Most of today’s graduates, however, will change career paths four or five times during their working life. Your Arts degree will give you the necessary flexibility to adapt your knowledge and keep ahead of the changes that all of us face in our careers. It also gives you skills for life – critical analysis, research, written and oral communication – skills that are being increasingly recognised by employers as providing them with their greatest assets – employees who can adapt to and help shape change, who can think laterally, apply knowledge and express themselves clearly.

 

The Bachelor of Laws degree is an accredited academic legal qualification that will allow you (after completion of an accredited practical legal training program) to go on to become a lawyer.  The Bachelor of Laws is also increasingly recognised by employers and students alike as a broad general degree that equips those who do not wish to practise law with invaluable skills, perspectives and insights.  At the ANU College of Law we will encourage you to develop a range of important and transferable skills, including those of critical analysis, reasoning, advocacy, and negotiation as well as a high level of proficiency in oral and written communication.   The courses that we offer will challenge you to think flexibly, critically and laterally and will invite you to engage with issues of national and international importance.  The Bachelor of Laws degree consists of both compulsory and elective courses. The former courses ensure that every student gains a solid grounding in core and fundamental branches of the law, whilst the elective courses provide opportunities for students to develop their particular interests and fields of expertise and to deepen their understandings of specific areas of the law.

Admission Requirements

.

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
