Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Laws (Honours)

Real-world experience

'The opportunities I had through QUT Business School, such as international case competitions, sparked my passion for business and helped launch my career. I began as a graduate consultant at Woolworths Group, gaining hands-on experience across liquor, ecommerce and retail. I later joined Amazon as Video Games Retail Manager, working with global brands like PlayStation and Nintendo to bring great games to Australian players. Now I’m the Senior Project Manager for Kindle, where I help shape the customer experience for millions of Australians.'

Practical experience

'QUT really lives up to its tagline "the university for the real world". Practical learning has been embedded throughout my degree - from solving real business problems and analysing current legal cases to completing internships with industry partners. This real-world application has set me up for success, teaching me how to be adaptable and thrive in the workplace. I've already seen how relevant my studies are in industry, and I’m confident I’ll be ready for wherever my career takes me.'

Career-defining opportunities

'QUT gave me countless opportunities to learn both in and beyond the classroom. Through internships and clerkships, I explored different career paths and discovered what I truly wanted to pursue. Real-world industry projects embedded in my units gave me hands-on experience across multiple sectors, while clubs and societies helped me build lifelong friendships and a global network. One of the most transformative experiences was my exchange to Arizona State University in the US, which inspired me to live and work overseas. Now I’m a Vice President in Macquarie Group’s Fund Finance team in New York City.'

Real-world ready

'Every aspect of my degree has set me up for a successful career. Through my involvement in the QUT Law Society, hands-on industry projects, real-world teachers and mentorship via the Law Founders' Scholarship, I’ve developed the knowledge, skills, and connections needed to excel in my career. My ultimate goal is to become a barrister - and maybe even establish my own law firm or business one day. Thanks to QUT, I feel confident and ready to take on the future.'

Future-focused

'QUT’s future-focused law degree equipped me with the confidence to navigate the modern world of law. Their innovative units, like Artificial Intelligence, Robots and the Law, and Law, Privacy and Data Ethics, empowered me to tackle emerging challenges head-on and develop unique skills essential in today’s legal landscape.'

Dual expertise

‘I always knew I wanted to go to university, even as the first in my family to study. Coming from a rural community, I was especially interested in understanding the legal system, as there’s often a lack of awareness about what the law means. I chose to do a double degree with accounting, because it complemented law so well—whether it’s commercial law, fraud matters in criminal law, or property settlements in family law. Plus, it provides a balance to the heavier legal study.’

Support for students

'Studying at QUT is rewarding. There are always people here to help you and give you the opportunity to do the best you can. QUT's support has been important in my success in balancing study and playing at an elite level in Rugby with the Queensland Reds. I chose to study a Bachelor of Business (Finance)/Bachelor of Laws (Honours) because rugby doesn’t last forever. I’m keen to give myself options and connections. Already it's been helpful for footy, with contracts and understanding the legalities.'

Career oriented learning

'I originally chose a double degree for employability, and QUT had a great reputation for both law and business, as well as work integrated learning. I'm finding there's plenty of cross-over between work and uni. I'm using the skills and knowledge I've gained at QUT at work, and work has given me skills like professional writing that I’ve been able to use with my uni assignments.'
