Overview
- Are you aspiring for a career in the legal or accounting professions and want to maximise the time you’ve set out to study? By studying a double degree, you will diversify your skillsets and employment opportunities in two essential and ever-expanding areas of practice – accounting and law - in less time than it takes to do two degrees separately.
- Delivered by industry-professionals and academics, UniSQ’s law courses cover topics such as contracts, criminal law, dispute management, company, constitutional, and administrative law, property and trusts, civil procedure, evidence law, as well as theories of law and applied ethics in legal practice.
- The Accounting courses allows you to develop technical and professional skills in financial and management accounting, auditing, information technology, taxation and ethics.
- Your learnings in law will culminate in a capstone project that involves combining the knowledge you’ve acquired over the duration of the degree, in addition to improving and expanding on organisational skills, research, interpersonal skills and ethical inquiry.
- Take advantage of UniSQ’s strong connections with the business sector and gain the opportunity to complete professional work experience by collaborating with an organization on a project. Refine your abilities in UniSQ’s Toowoomba and Ipswich Moot Courts and Ipswich Law Clinic, gaining hands-on experience in legal practices, advocacy, and support centres, which will make you a highly attractive candidate to employers.
- Interested in law but unsure if you’ll pursue a career in legal practice? This career-focused double degree also enhances the unique competencies that come from a legal and accounting education. You’ll cultivate analytical thinking, advanced problem-solving, and research skills.
