Macquarie University

Bachelor of International Studies and Bachelor of Laws

In the Bachelor of International Studies, you’ll collaborate with changemakers, research experts and global communities to co-create practical responses to emerging global needs. You’ll explore the political, social and economic drivers of change, and develop your own adaptive toolkit – blending cultural intelligence, storytelling, tech fluency, mediation and strategic thinking. Whether your interests lie in public policy, global business, diplomacy, social enterprise or tech ethics, you’ll graduate with a real-world portfolio; an international network; and the ability to anticipate disruption, engage diverse perspectives and collaborate globally. The Bachelor of Laws is built around real experience and genuine connection with industry. You’ll have opportunities to complete an internship for academic credit at a leading firm, including Allens, Ashurst, Clayton Utz or MinterEllison – a springboard many former students have leveraged to secure a permanent role – or gain client-facing experience at Wallumatta Legal, our not-for-profit family law firm dedicated to improving access to justice. You’ll be encouraged to further build your practical capabilities by working with our Social Justice and Strategic Litigation Clinics, and you’ll learn within a modern law precinct that facilitates collaboration with your peers and academics.
