LAW
LAW AT MELBOURNE
Law is an exciting and challenging discipline.
It offers insights into the worlds of politics,
business and public affairs, as well as the role
of law itself. Studying law leads to a wide range
of careers in many industries.
A career in law begins with an undergraduate

degree in the discipline of your choice. If you
like, you can take law breadth subjects from
your first year. You will then continue with the
Melbourne Juris Doctor (JD) graduate course
to qualify as a lawyer.
You will graduate with both an undergraduate

and graduate degree, giving you a higher
level of qualification than a traditional
double degree.
