The Bachelor of International Relations introduces students to international relations via the broad historical and intellectual framework which has framed the modern world of states since the 17th century. It will then concentrate on International Relations in the 20th century, the age of World Wars and the Cold War, before addressing issues of the present age, the age of global political economy, global culture and communication, global environmental concerns and post-Cold war political conflict, including the 'War on Terror'.  The Australian National University is recognised for its leadership in the field of International Relations and has a number of staff that have undertaken extensive research in this area. Students will have the option of including an approved exchange or international/national internship in their program of study.  By using elective courses, students may extend a language minor to a major.

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.
