Studying law is about understanding our society and the power structures within it. Why do we have the laws we do? How have they evolved? How should we interpret them? Whether you want to uphold, use or change the system law can take you just about anywhere. Ranked 87 in the World for the subject area of Law you can study at South Australias #1 Law School. Our Bachelor of Laws can be completed as a single degree, or a double degree program. You will: explore legal concepts, processes and methods within common law principles and legal methodology, build ethical reasoning, policy-based analysis and oratory skills, gain rigorous knowledge of the areas of law necessary to undertake legal practice, go deeper by choosing from our broad list of electives, learn from legal professionals, former judges and international academics, undertake internships in areas such as Public Law, Native Title Law and Human Rights Law, form connections through the Universitys Lex Salus, Next Steps and Law Students Society events.
