Nationally Recognised Higher EducationA Bachelor of Science - Bachelor of Laws from UOW equips graduates with a comprehensive legal education: a world-class degree that provides a thorough grounding in the law, as well as a real-world focus on the essential practical skills and the social and ethical context in which the law operates.
Combining Law with Science allows you to gain a competitive edge by being able to recognise how law functions in social and scientific contexts. You will tackle projects such as environmental planning, or look at the legal implications of introducing new technology.

We believe that practical experience is a vital part of your legal training. We are the only law school in New South Wales that requires you to complete a legal internship, providing highly valued industry experience. We are committed to social justice and providing a legal education that engages with the complexities of law's intersection with society.
