Students undertaking this combined degree program complete the core requirements of both the Bachelor of Art Theory and the Bachelor of Laws. The combined degree allows students to undertake a focused study in the visual arts and culture.

Students completing the BArtTh LLB are likely to gain employment in Arts or Law, but broader opportunities exist for careers in arts management and policy. The professional contexts courses of the BArtTh will enable students to develop career-related skills and experiences and the theoretical/historical contexts courses will provide depth of knowledge about the arts.

Students must satisfy the normal assumed knowledge requirements for entry to the Faculty of the College of Fine Arts (COFA) and to individual courses in that Faculty.

At the completion of this program, students will have obtained a sound knowledge base in the fields of both Art Theory and Law.
