Career opportunities

It's really up to you what path you decide to take. You could aim for a career in aviation law, where your double degree would be highly valued. You will find other careers in the aviation industry in design, manufacturing, airworthiness operations, and research and development. And the further you move into management the more likely you are to use the skills and knowledge you've gained from your law degree. Formula One teams also employ many aerospace engineers.

With a degree in law, you can practise as a barrister or solicitor, or use your skills and knowledge in a variety of law-related occupations within the judiciary, government, media, business industry and politics.

Why study Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering and Bachelor of Laws?

Are you a high-flyer interested in combining aerospace engineering and the law? This double degree will launch you into one of a number of exciting careers.

Other resources at your disposal include the Laboratory for Turbulence Research in Aerospace and Combustion (LTRAC), which we use to undertake world-leading research in the areas of turbulent flows and combustion. Then there's the Fluid Laboratory of Aeronautical and Industrial Research (FLAIR) that specialises in experimental and computational fluid mechanics research.

Monash Law School is ranked in the world's top 15 law schools by QS World University Rankings. As well as having the opportunity to study subjects like Air law and international aerospace law, which will complement your double degree, you will be mentored by some of the most respected legal academics in the country. Our academics' credentials range from providing senior legal advice to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia to advising the Commonwealth Attorney General on cyber crime.
