Program Overview

This double degree is ideal if you want to work in commercial law, employment law or corporate governance; on business policies; or as a manager or director.

It will prepare you for legal practice and give you vital knowledge of current legal and regulatory business environments. You'll add a business industry focus to your law degree and gain business knowledge and practical skills specific to your chosen major.

The first three years of this course are delivered in semesters at Curtin Perth, while the fourth year, plus one trimester, is delivered at Curtin Law School at our Perth City campus. If you choose to study full-time, you can graduate with two degrees in just 4.5 years.

While studying in Perth city, you can gain practical experience by undertaking simulated proceedings in our high-tech moot court and working on real cases at the John Curtin Law Clinic. You’ll benefit greatly from the relationships you will form with academics, practising solicitors and barristers based at Curtin Law School, as well as from the proximity of the Supreme Court, the District Court and the Federal Court.
