Bachelor of Creative Arts - Bachelor of Laws
Overview
Students commencing University study directly from school may enrol in a double degree course with the Bachelor of Laws. Study in another academic discipline allows students to recognise how law functions in social, economic, technical, environmental and scientific contexts. The BCA/LLB degree allows students to combine studies in the creative arts, such as creative writing, graphic design, sound, composition, performance or visual arts with studies in law. Many lawyers find that knowledge of the arts and media is extremely useful in their practice.
For the first two years of the double degree, students enrol in subjects offered substantially by the Faculty of Law. In the final three years of the degree, students enrol exclusively in Law subjects, including a range of law elective options.
Entry Requirements / Assumed Knowledge
Assumed Knowledge: Any two units of English.
Recommended Studies: English Advanced.
An additional selection criterion applies for the Bachelor of Creative Arts. In addition to applying to UAC, students must submit an interview/audition application form to the Faculty of Creative Arts. For further information refer to the UAC Guide.
Advanced Standing
Students may apply for advanced standing for relevant subjects completed at approved tertiary institutions.
