Bachelor of Laws (LLB) / Bachelor of Arts
Course Code V73
The Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Arts double degree combines the new Law degree program (subject to recognition by the Legal Practice Board of WA) with an existing Arts degree program. This double degree provides students with lifelong transferable skills equipping them for employment in a wide range of professions as well as for further study in a variety of disciplines.
Note: The ECU Bachelor of Laws Degree is an approved degree for the purposes of s27 (2) (a) (i) of the Legal Practice Act 2003. Specific recognition of Years One and Two has been granted by the Legal Practice Board. Subsequent years will be submitted to the Board for approval as required.
