Bachelor of Digital Transformation/ Bachelor of Laws

Program overview

The legal industry is changing rapidly because of new technologies, new providers, and shifting client expectations. Lawyers and officers of the court operate across multiple jurisdictions – from country to country, from the real world to the virtual world, from traditional media and paper files to social media and cloud storage. 

This brave new world is disrupting how the law is interpreted, applied, and practised at every level. 

Bond’s Bachelor of Digital Transformation / Bachelor of Laws is a unique transdisciplinary program that combines the qualifications needed to practise as a lawyer, with skills in digital technology, design thinking and innovation.  Students graduate as active global citizens with the imagination to contribute to the development of thriving future societies. 

This is how you change the world.

Our fast-track trimester timetable makes tackling a double degree at Bond easy. In fact, you can complete two degrees here in less time than you could graduate with just one degree at most other universities. Bond’s Bachelor of Digital Transformation / Bachelor of Laws can be completed in just 11 semesters (less than four years).
