K58 Bachelor of Laws Bachelor of Psychological Science

This double degree combination enables students who wish to study Law and Psychological Science to obtain a degree in both fields.
The Bachelor of Laws equips students with skills for the courtroom and beyond, providing greater scope and options for a rewarding career in the legal, corporate, commercial and social justice fields. Practical experience may be gained at the on-campus Joondalup Community Legal Centre and through the Criminal Justice Review Project (‘Innocence Project’).

 

This course satisfies the academic requirements for admission of law graduates as legal practitioners in Western Australia. Professional recognition extends to the online mode of delivery. As with other Bachelor of Laws degrees in Australia, before a law graduate may be admitted to the legal profession in that state or territory, certain additional requirements must be satisfied following completion of the Bachelor of Laws. Law graduates seeking admission in Western Australia should refer to the Legal Profession Act 2008 (WA).
