Overview

Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry)

A Bachelor of Laws from UOW equips graduates with a comprehensive legal education.

It is a world-class degree that provides a thorough grounding in the law and a real-world focus on essential practical skills and the social and ethical context in which the law operates.

UOW believes that practical experience is a vital part of your legal training. 

It's the only law school in New South Wales that requires you to complete a legal internship, providing highly valued industry experience. 

The Bachelor of Laws at UOW delivers a practical and contextual legal education that prepares graduates not only for traditional careers in the legal profession.

This degree is available only to graduates of disciplines other than law, with the exception that the degree is open to graduates of law degrees from outside Australia.

What you will study

The Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) is a three-year full-time degree (or can be studied part-time) that covers the prescribed areas of knowledge for future admission to the profession and includes a choice of electives. 

Additionally, an integrated skills program equips graduates with experience in legal research, interviewing, drafting, advocacy and negotiation. 

Opportunities also exist to undertake subjects through an international exchange program.
