The Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of International Business at Murdoch University lets you study Australian law alongside international business practices. Across five years, you’ll complete core law units in areas like contracts, torts, criminal law, and constitutional law, paired with subjects including global marketing, cross-border trade, and corporate governance. The course is structured with a mix of compulsory and elective units, divided across semesters. You’ll need to complete a set number of credit points through these units, with law units fulfilling the academic requirements for admission as a lawyer in Australia.
This double degree often includes practical components, such as moot courts, negotiation workshops, and simulated legal practice. Some law units offer placement opportunities, connecting students with Perth-based legal practices, community legal centres, or industry partners. International business units frequently use real business case studies and can include internships or projects with local and international firms. In your final year, you may undertake a capstone research project or extended piece of legal writing, integrating both disciplines.
Throughout the course, you’ll build skills in critical thinking, legal analysis, business strategy, commercial negotiation, and intercultural communication. Graduates gain a practical understanding of both legal reasoning and international commerce, making them valuable to employers who operate across borders. The programme suits those interested in legal practice with a global focus, compliance, policy, corporate advisory work, or consulting roles in international settings.
Murdoch University’s strong links to the business and legal communities in Perth, as well as Asia-Pacific networks, support industry-focused learning and employment opportunities. International students are welcome to apply and must meet higher English standards for law. While studying, you can work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after finishing their degree. It’s best to check the official page for up-to-date admission and curriculum details.
