Hear from our Bondies

  • The Bachelor of Jurisprudence is the perfect law degree for those who want to study law without becoming a lawyer. Students still get access to the amazing teachers and exceptional resources in the law faculty and across the university, but they also get to select the subjects they want rather than being obliged to study areas of little interest. And the program can be completed in only two years.
