Course Details

Bachelor of Computer Science - Bachelor of Laws

Course Description

Combining law with computer science allows students to understand and shape how the law functions within a technical context. This double degree combines the practical, problem-solving skills of computer science and programming with the high-level analytical, research and communication skills of Law. This will enable you to acquire specialist knowledge and skills across the continually changing landscape of information communication and technology (ICT). These skills can be applied across a wide range of applications and you will learn how the structure of data plays an important role in delivering solutions to complex problems. This degree: In the first year of your Law double degree, your Bachelor of Laws subjects must be completed full-time, except where Faculty approval is given on equity grounds. In the following four years of the degree, students enrol in Law subjects and Arts subjects. Refer to the Bachelor of Laws and the Bachelor of Computer Science for more information about majors and electives available. We believe that practical experience is a vital part of your legal training. We are the only law school in Australia that requires you to complete a legal internship. This means you get to apply your legal knowledge to real life situations as part of your degree.
