About this program

The Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Laws at the University of Southern Queensland is run over four years in Toowoomba. Students complete units from both business and law, making it possible to graduate with two distinct qualifications. In the business component, students engage with topics like management, marketing, economics, and accounting, ensuring a practical understanding of the commercial sector. The law degree covers core areas such as contracts, torts, property, constitutional law, and legal theory.

Teaching is organised into semesters, with students earning credit points through completing required and elective units in each area. In the final stages, law students normally undertake a capstone experience, which may be a research dissertation or practical legal clinic, depending on unit choices. Business studies are often connected to case studies and projects, giving students exposure to real organisational issues in the Australian context. There is also the option to engage in work-integrated learning through internships or placement, especially for those focused on professional practice.

This double degree is recognised as a pathway towards admission as a legal practitioner in Australia, with graduates typically needing to complete further practical legal training. Skills developed include legal research, communication, critical analysis, advocacy, leadership, commercial acumen, and ethical responsibility. The combination suits students interested in law with a solid grounding in business, aiming for a career at the intersection of legal and commercial practice.

International students should note the English language requirements. Work rights of up to 48 hours per fortnight during session are available on a Student visa, and completion may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) under the post-study work stream. Details can change and should be confirmed on the official course page.
