Overview

Bachelor of Laws

A Bachelor of Laws (Direct Entry) from UOW equips you with a comprehensive legal education. 

A world-class degree that provides a thorough grounding in the law and a real-world focus on the 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.

It's committed to social justice and providing a legal education that engages with the complexities of law's intersection with society.

This degree provides a practical and contextual legal education, preparing graduates for traditional careers in the legal profession.

It also equips them for various careers in government, business, and community organisations, fostering leadership, innovation, and problem-solving skills.

The Bachelor of Laws covers the prescribed areas of knowledge for future admission to the profession and includes a choice of electives. 

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

Opportunities also exist to undertake subjects by way of an international exchange.
