Laws Double Degree (Honours) (5.5 Years) (ACC-DHLF)

A double degree expands your knowledge and opens doors to a broad range of career opportunities.

You will graduate with professional honours, an advanced understanding of legal principles of Australian law and the latest legal concepts in Accounting.

In your accounting studies you’ll develop strong business knowledge, and skills in financial accounting, taxation, company law, and auditing. You’ll also learn about the current economic, legal and political influences affecting global business.
