Overview
Use comprehensive knowledge of data science tools and techniques combined with a sophisticated understanding of the laws and legal system of Australia to make a difference in the real world. The data science component covers the necessary theory and the practical tools for data acquisition, storage, management, processing, analysis and visualisation. It provides cutting-edge coverage of ethical considerations, communication, collaboration and critical thinking skills. The intersection of data science with QUT’s contemporary law degree will provide you with the knowledge and confidence you need to take advantage of employment opportunities in law and technology related fields. This course will help you understand and promote the ethical standards of the legal profession in the digital age, and design new technologies to aid the practice of law.
Bachelor of Laws (Honours)
The defining nature of our law degree is the unique balance between theory and practice. During your degree, you will complete the academic law units required for admission to legal practice, as well as elective units that align with your career interests.
Through your study you will develop necessary legal skills such as legal research, problem solving, critical analysis, dispute resolution, and oral and written communication.
Develop a career in journalism focusing on legal affairs, politics, crime reporting and foreign affairs, or work as a solicitor, barrister or in-house lawyer, including media lawyer.
Our course will also help you understand and promote the ethical standards of the legal profession and to appreciate international and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives.
Our Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is a higher qualification than a bachelor degree, as it has honours-level content integrated throughout the course. The advanced knowledge and skills in this course will benefit your professional career, or future research and study.
