Overview
- Develop a powerful combination of skills by studying both business and law. This double degree offers exposure to multiple skill areas and employment opportunities in the dynamic business or law industries.
- Learn about the traditional approaches in the litigation process, as well as the increasingly important alternative methods of resolving disputes. Extend your knowledge of conflict and communication, negotiating and mediating – from a theoretical as well as practical perspective.
- 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 undecided if you’ll go on to a career in legal practice? This career-focused double degree also enhances the unique competencies that come from a legal and business education, allowing you to develop highly sought transferrable skills in analytical thinking, complex problem-solving, and research– which are valued across a wide range of professional roles.
- Benefit from UniSQ’s close ties with the business industry and the opportunity to complete professional work experience where you’ll work with an organisation to complete a project.
- Launch your career sooner with a double degree – complete your studies in less time than it would to study both degrees separately. Save time and money, and graduate with two testamurs (official certificates), one for each of your degrees.
