Course summary
Students who undertake a double degree are candidates for both degrees and are able to complete the two degrees with five years of full-time study or part-time equivalent.
The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) is a recognised degree for admission as a lawyer throughout Australia. Whatever their field of interest, the LLB will equip students with the intellectual, critical and practical skills needed in the professional practice of law.
The Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science prepares students with the required knowledge, skills and attitudes to practise as professionals in the field of exercise and sports science.
Applicants who do not have the required entry mark are encouraged to apply for the Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science. If those students achieve the required grade point average during the course, they may then apply for transfer into the double degree.
