K30 Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Criminology and Justice

The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree satisfies the academic requirements for the admission of law graduates as legal practitioners in Western Australia.  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 after completion of the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree. For law graduates seeking admission in Western Australia, refer to the Legal Practice Act 2003 (WA).  The Bachelor of Criminology and Justice is designed for students with an interest in criminology and the justice system. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the nature of criminology and justice and the principal disciplines that inform criminological and justice related issues. Those principal disciplines are law, political science, psychology and sociology. Throughout this award, students examine the nature of crime and social control. They also examine a broad range of areas in the domain of justice including policing, courts, law, corrections, family law and alternative dispute resolution. The combination of Law, Criminology and Justice provides students with a practical legal qualification. It also provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the impact of law within various community settings.
