About this program

The Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and Bachelor of Business (Tourism, Event and Hospitality Management) at Adelaide University is an integrated, five-year double degree designed for students who wish to gain in-depth expertise in both legal studies and the dynamic business sectors of tourism, event, and hospitality management. This programme prepares graduates with a robust foundation of legal knowledge alongside specialist business skills applicable to some of Australia's most vibrant industries.

You will study in a structure common to Australian bachelor honours degrees, comprising core and elective units of study measured in credit points. The curriculum includes immersive coursework in law, developing skills in legal research, statutory interpretation, advocacy, and ethical reasoning, paired with business units tailored to tourism, event, and hospitality management. Interdisciplinary study and practical problem-solving are emphasised, and the honours component typically involves advanced seminar work and a research project or thesis in law.

Students experience authentic Australian learning contexts with opportunities for professional engagement such as industry placements, internships, or work-integrated learning. This real-world exposure connects learners directly with Adelaide’s tourism, events, and legal industries, ensuring that theoretical knowledge is grounded with practical, career-ready skills. The programme suits aspiring legal professionals who also seek to lead or innovate in hospitality and tourism enterprises, as well as those interested in regulatory, policy, or strategic roles across government and industry.

International students are required to demonstrate English proficiency, usually with an IELTS Academic score of 7.0 or higher for the law component, or equivalent via TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge C1 Advanced, or an approved pathway programme. While enrolled, students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-graduation, offering further practical experience in Australia.
