The Bachelor of Laws and Legal Practice (Honours)/Bachelor of Science at Flinders University is a comprehensive double degree designed to equip students with expert knowledge and practical skills across both legal and scientific disciplines. Over six years of full-time study, students complete an integrated curriculum that develops a thorough understanding of Australian law, legal research and advocacy, as well as foundational and advanced scientific principles in their chosen science major. This double degree uniquely prepares graduates for careers where law and science intersect, supporting roles in diverse and evolving fields.
The course structure adheres to the Australian Qualifications Framework, consisting of individual units of study, each with designated credit points. Law units cover areas such as contract and criminal law, constitutional practice, and evidence, while science units allow specialisation in disciplines like biology, chemistry, or environmental science. The Honours component involves advanced legal research, typically culminating in a thesis, while work-integrated learning and professional legal placement are embedded, providing students with workplace experience and preparation for legal practice in Australia.
Throughout the programme, students focus on developing analytical, critical thinking, communication, advocacy, and scientific inquiry skills. There is a strong emphasis on building research capability, both in the legal and scientific arenas, to ensure graduates can navigate complex issues at the intersection of law, policy, and science. The programme suits those interested in pursuing legal practice with a science background or individuals who aspire to policy, advisory, or analyst roles in government, private industry, or research organisations.
Australian and international students benefit from Adelaide's vibrant legal and scientific hubs, with connections to industry partners, research bodies, and professional networks. The law component is designed to meet requirements for admission to legal practice in South Australia, provided additional practical legal training is completed. Students on a Student visa may engage in work placements and are entitled to work rights during their studies; after graduation, the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) may provide a pathway to post-study employment in Australia. Prospective students should review all official programme details and admission requirements via the course's official page.
