About this program

Studying law and commerce offers a unique and practical skillset, preparing you to tackle ethical, regulatory, and policy challenges shaping modern business. 

You will develop the skills and experience to understand business environments and market dynamics, while legal knowledge ensures you can navigate regulations, legal challenges and risk management, effectively.  

At Griffith Law School, you are welcomed into the legal profession right from orientation. You'll make connections between law and ethics, legal theory and internationalisation, as well as explore courses that cover areas such as crime, contracts, property and corporate law, torts and theories of law. 

Within Griffith Business School courses, you'll build your skills in the fundamental principles of accounting, economic theories, business statistics and effective management and decision-making strategies. You'll be able to choose from majors in applied accounting, economics and finance to align your education with your career goals - and, with an emphasis on experiential learning, as well as financial analytics and modelling, gain a competitive edge for employment across the public and private sectors.   

Opportunities to boost your career development and employability are integrated throughout the degrees, and you'll undertake legal clinics working with real client and cases, gaining practical experience and building a professional network before you graduate. 

My attendance during the program

Attendance information

Student Income Support

To be classed as a full-time student, you are required to enrol in a minimum number of credit points each standard study period. The minimum credit points for full-time enrolment in this program is 30 credit points.

Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 are deemed standard study periods. As Trimester 3 is a non-standard study period, continuing students moving from one year to the next will not be required to study during this trimester to be eligible for student income support.

Domestic students who commence in Trimester 3 may be eligible for student income support from the onset of study provided they are enrolled full-time in this study period.

Please refer to the Australian Government website for more details.

The Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/Bachelor of Commerce is offered full-time, on-campus.

As a full-time student you will generally attend 10-15 hours of scheduled classes per week throughout the trimester. Classes may be scheduled during the day and early evening throughout the week.

Some law electives are based at Nathan, some at the Gold Coast. A few law electives are run in intensive mode, including in Trimester 3. Intensive mode means that classes may be compacted over a week, or over several weekends. Some law electives are 'clinics' which typically involve work off campus. Law electives are not normally undertaken until the final two years of your law degree.

Managing Study Interruptions
Leave of Absence
