Bachelor of Economics / Bachelor of Laws

Five years full-time

This five-year (full-time or equivalent part-time) combined law program will allow you to study the Bachelor of Laws in conjunction with the Bachelor of Economics. It works by spreading the first year of the law degree over three years of the economics degree. You will enrol with the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences for the first three years and then transfer to the Sydney Law School to finish the last two years of your law studies. Although many graduates obtain employment as legal practitioners, an increasing number choose employment in economics and management, banking and finance, or accounting, where a law degree is regarded as a desirable qualification.
