Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Philosophy
ProviderThe University of Notre Dame AustraliaCourse overview
The Bachelor of Laws degree provides a gateway to a rewarding career in Law and can provide a strong foundation for other career opportunities. This degree will prepare you to work as a lawyer in a private practice, in government, as corporate counsel or in a not-for-profit organisation.
While it can be challenging, the legal profession is also an immensely rewarding one. At Notre Dame, we have worked with leading judges, senior barristers and solicitors to design a quality degree that is rigorous, ethical, practical and relevant to the current Australian legal landscape. This degree combines a comprehensive coverage of legal and ethical principles, as well as the skills to apply these principles in legal practice.
The Bachelor of Philosophy offers a comprehensive education in the history, major domains and contemporary issues of philosophy.
Students will develop capabilities in conceptual analysis, and in thinking and arguing well. By tackling the most fundamental questions of existence, students will sharpen skills that are vital for success in any field. This degree embraces a historical and general approach to the philosophical issues that arise in every aspect of life, including ethics, politics, history, technology, health, religion and culture. Subjects consider how ideas form the world in which we live, through looking at metaphysics, logic, political philosophy, language, art and aesthetics, science and education.
Students studying a Bachelor of Philosophy can undertake a Major or Minor in a range of arts and sciences disciplines, such as history, English literature, theology, or politics and international relations.
