This combined degree provides students with the generic skills and understanding of humanities and social sciences in conjunction with legal education for the practice of law.

The Arts course provides graduates with the ability to understand and study human society. It develops high levels of written and oral communication skills in the Humanities and Social Sciences, including Anthropology, History, Greek, Chinese and Indonesian Studies, Political Science and Sociology. It prepares graduates for research training at Honours and postgraduate level. It is available for external and internal modes of study.

The Arts course includes specialist pathways of study in History and Cultural Heritage, Social Science (Psychology and Sociology), Regional and International Studies (including Southeast Asian Studies), Languages and Indigenous Knowledge (Yolngu Culture). Combinations of these specialist areas of study provide graduates with distinctive qualifications that lead to interesting and rewarding careers. The course builds on the University's unique location in northern Australia, adjacent to Southeast Asia. Employment opportunities include Federal, State and Territory government, land councils, museums, non-government agencies and the corporate sector, particularly where these organizations engage with Central and Northern Australia and Asia.

The Law course aims to provide knowledge of the legal system and legal principles, and to cultivate a capacity for legal research, analysis and communication. The course also deals with theoretical perspectives on the law and encourages an appreciation of legal issues of special significance to the Northern Territory, including Aboriginal legal issues.

Graduates of this combined degree are awarded both the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws.
