I have no idea what I want to combine my law degree with.

Bachelor of Arts (Behavioural Science)
Bachelor of Communications and Media
Bachelor of International Studies

I suppose it would help if I knew what my long term career goals were but I don't so I want to pick something that will benefit me but also be enjoyable to study.

Not interested in commerce, engineering or science.


Opinions?

Option 1 may be useful in Criminal & litigation (which is basically going to court and 'fighting') and would probably be one of those *interesting to know* kind of subjects

Option 2 could be useful if you are looking into media / copyright laws and perhaps possibly working for a media company as an in house lawyer

Option 3 is learning about culture , history and arts of other countries, it may be useful if you want to work abroad, but I'm not too sure.

The 3 could be interesting if they are your passion, but it could be a nightmare if you really aren't interested.

In all, if I was the one picking

I'd go

B Comm. Med. > B Int'l Studies/ BA (BS)

Simply because I have interest in media, performing media, radio, television related field.

Sorry if I'm not of any help, I''m a first semester combined LLB + B Commerce student and so far enjoying the law side of things

I don't think you can keep it by itself unless you do the course at UTS or via graduate entry. I could be wrong though.

OP, do which ever interests you the most. I think the post made by Proteus is a good indiction as to the possible routes you can take with each combination, but ultimately you're going to have to choose something you will hold your interest.

I've got one year of a B of Psychology which I enjoyed but in the end decided it wasn't for me.

If I combine with Behavioural Science I can probably get some credit which would be great.

Thank you for the advice everyone!

Most undergraduate law schools in NSW are combined with a notable exception, UTS, or you could do a Juris Doctor.

Perhaps courses related to information technology can help. copyright laws are fertile grounds for litigation these days.
