Why Bachelor of Laws (Honours), Bachelor of Business?

Engage with industry. Explore professional careers in sectors aligned with your interests. Emerge as a responsible and globally conscious leader.
Overview
Business studies is all about managing people and projects, and strategic decision-making, while law ensures those strategies align with ethical and legal standards. The two work hand-in-hand for diverse careers in law, finance, consulting, government and the corporate world.
You’ll learn financial planning, entrepreneurial and operational strategies, balanced by an understanding of liabilities, how to mitigate risk, and navigate tax systems and compliance. You’ll explore legal principles in Australian law – and how and why laws change over time.
Business decisions often require an understanding of corporate law, contract law, and intellectual property rights. Legal training will help you navigate regulations, draft contracts and ensure compliance.

- Settlement agent
- Financial analyst
- Legal administrator
- Negotiator or mediator
- Business consultant
- Contract administrator
- Entrepreneur.
Industry trends
Increased regulation in industries like finance, technology and healthcare is driving demand for compliance officers, regulatory specialists and risk managers (Stratsys, 2024). Companies are increasingly hiring in-house legal teams to more cost-effectively handle contracts, governance and risk management (Deloitte, 2024 and Barclay Simpson, 2024). Demand for experts in environmental, social and governance (ESG) compliance is surging with the anticipated introduction of mandatory climate-related financial disclosures (Guthrie Legal, 2024). Jobs for solicitors in Australia also have long-term trends of strong growth (Jobs and Skills Outlook, 2023).
Accreditation
Adelaide University is working through relevant approvals for program accreditation ahead of students commencing in 2026.
