Overview
- Diversify your career prospects in two essential and ever-expanding fields: accounting and law. This double degree allows you to gain expertise in financial and legal practice and complete your studies in less time than it would to study both degrees separately.
- Explore a wide range of legal topics while developing the ability to identify and articulate legal issues, apply legal reasoning and conduct research in response to legal matters. Alongside this, build technical and professional skills in accounting, including financial and management accounting, auditing, information technology, taxation, and ethics.
- Complete your law studies by undertaking a comprehensive capstone project that combines the knowledge gained over the duration of your studies, while enhancing your organisational, research and interpersonal skills, and ethical inquiry.
- Learn from industry professionals and academics and take advantage of UniSQ’s strong connections with the business sector. Broaden your practical skills through professional work experience and collaborate with an organisation on a project.
- Be ready to step into the workforce after refining your abilities in UniSQ’s moot courts and with hands-on experience in legal practices, advocacy, and support centres.
- Interested in law but unsure if you’ll pursue a career in legal practice? This career-focused double degree enhances the unique competencies that a legal and accounting education can offer, helping you develop highly sought transferrable skills in analytical thinking, advanced problem-solving, and research – which are valued across a wide range of professional roles.

Professional Accounting
Gain industry-relevant knowledge and practical skills in accounting, finance, law, and data analysis through real-world scenarios, preparing you for ethical, informed, and effective business decision-making.
Learning new things
Working in the legal industry is so different to theory, but that theory provides a solid foundation for practice. Persevering through that transitional stage from study to work is key to your growth, you’re learning every single day. I don’t think that I will ever stop learning new things, working in law.
