Here is what the Double Law qualification offered by UNSW Sydney covers and who it is designed for.
UNSW’s Bachelor of Laws double degree program will provide you with in-depth knowledge of the law as well as a broader education to increase your understanding of the wider social implications of it. We offer a wide range of double degree combinations, so you’re sure to find one that’s right for you. Employers seek out our well-rounded graduates for their critical thinking, analytical skills and specialised knowledge. You’ll learn to think outside the box, so you can apply your law degree to countless industries when it comes to your career.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to social justice and throughout your studies you will experience this first-hand through engagement with our centres and clinics. In your second year, you’ll work with clients and lawyers at Kingsford Legal Centre (KLC), a fully functioning community legal centre that operates out of the UNSW Law & Justice building.
Our student-focused, interactive teaching approach includes small class sizes and experiential learning, meaning you will be able to participate and engage in authentic discussions and learning experiences, such as internships and mooting competitions. Studying law at UNSW can open the door to countless opportunities, both inside and outside the legal profession, from commercial practice to working in a community legal centre, to running a start-up or working for an international organisation.
