Why study this degree?

  • Designed with some of Australia’s most prominent legal professionals, this combined Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Commerce places a strong focus on experiential and case-based learning. When undertaking the legal component of the degree, you will find that Notre Dame’s small class sizes give you ample opportunity to engage in spirited debate and discussion.
  • Furthermore, we also encourage students to participate in our Mentorship Program. Working in collaboration with highly respected law practitioners, this unique program bridges the gap between law students and the legal profession. The program connects penultimate and final year students with experienced legal practitioners who provide guidance and advice on matters such as elective choices and applying for clerkships.
  • Similarly, the inclusion of a Business Internship in the Commerce component of your degree forms yet another opportunity for you to implement the skills you have learned in a real working context. Held over three phases, you will undertake classroom-based learning in phases one and two before undertaking a four-week industry placement in your third phase. By adding this industry experience to your already impressive formal qualifications, you will graduate with a keen competitive edge.
