About the course
This double degree combines broad science study with an accredited law qualification, preparing you for careers where scientific knowledge and legal practice intersect. You can explore different science disciplines before choosing a major, while developing core legal knowledge across key areas of law. Practical training is embedded through experiences such as the Deakin Law Clinic and opportunities for industry and community projects. This is a Bachelor-level pathway in science and law.
Career outcome
Graduates can pursue roles across legal practice and science-based industries, especially where regulation, evidence and technology meet. Career directions may include legal practice (after completing required admission steps), policy and regulatory work, compliance, intellectual property and technology-related law, environmental and health regulation, and advisory roles in government or industry. The combined degree supports work in both scientific and legal settings as a Bachelor qualification in law and science.
