Business & Law

Prepare for the career you're made for

A successful career starts when you hit the ground running armed with the skills you need. At Murdoch you can undertake internships at leading law firms, multinational corporations, local businesses, government departments and not for profit organisations. As a law student, you may take part in our well-established mooting program (which will see you participating in simulated court proceedings with teams from law schools in Australia and abroad). Or, you may provide legal support to real clients through our on-campus community legal centre. As a business student, you'll learn in executive suites which have been designed to simulate professional industry environments.

Prepare to think your way to global solutions

Experience the world’s business, legal and crime sectors first-hand. Depending on your degree, you'll also have the chance to participate in overseas programs in Germany, Shanghai, Singapore or Geneva. You may even join a university delegation to Canberra to sit in on government talks, or travel to join presidential talks at an international conference through our annual Global Voices Scholarship. Our business degrees feature an internationalised curriculum, so you'll learn how to see business challenges through a global lens.

Consider a combined degree or double major to graduate with more career opportunities.

Combine your studies with another area to give your thinking the opportunity to thrive in a multitude of careers. If you’re an undergraduate student, consider a double major or combined degree during your undergraduate degree. Or, as a high performing student, you may be eligible to get your undergraduate and postgraduate qualification at the same time by completing our postgraduate MasterClass Graduate Certificate in Business Administration during winter and summer breaks. Alternatively, extend your degree with an honours program, undertaking intensive research training and working closely with an academic on a topic of your choice.
