Overview

Bachelor of Science / Laws (Honours)

Within this combined degree program at The University of Newcastle, students study a combination of Science and Law courses over a period of five years full-time. 

Upon completing the first three years, students will have completed all the required courses for the Bachelor of Science degree. 

In the final two years of the combined degree program, students complete the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) requirements and may enrol in these two years on a less than full-time basis.

Students completing this combined degree program meet the academic requirements to practice law in NSW. 

However, they must also complete postgraduate professional training approved by the Legal Profession Admission Board if they wish to practise as a lawyer. 

Students also have the skills and knowledge to contribute to scientific development in many areas of technology, industry, agriculture or the information revolution.
