Bachelor of Laws (Honours), Bachelor of Business (Sport and Recreation Management)

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 sport and recreation management. This legal expertise, combined with the knowledge and skills you’ll gain from your Sport and Recreation Management specialisation, will set you on track for a rewarding career.

In your law studies you can undertake a Community Justice Project, practice advocacy and negotiation, or gain industry experience through participation in our Legal Advice Clinic or a professional placement. You’ll also be involved in mock-trials in our moot court, learning what it’s like to act as an advocate and argue a case before a judge.

In your sport and recreation management studies you will develop skills through site visits, hear from professionally successful guest lecturers in the field of sport and recreation, and learn from a highly experienced teaching team.

If you wish to practise law, you should also familiarise yourself with the requirements for admission as a legal practitioner in South Australia.
