Bachelor of Creative Arts - Bachelor of Laws
Overview
Students commencing University study directly from school must
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 a knowledge of the arts and media
is extremely useful in their practice.
For the first three years of the double degree, students enrol
substantially in subjects offered by the Faculty of Creative
Arts combined with a small number of Law subjects. In the final
two 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.
Additional selection criteria 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.
