Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws

at University of New South Wales

Program structure
The Bachelor of Arts/Law is five years full time and made up of 40 courses (240 Units of Credit (UOC)) that provide a depth and breadth of study.

The Bachelor of Arts provides the opportunity to gain unique skills and critical perspectives to complement your study of the law. Whether you want to major in a language with your sights set on a global career or want to study the justice system from a different angle through a major in criminology. You can choose different majors, minors and electives to tailor your studies to your passions and interests.

Two degrees doesn’t mean double the workload. Each year you’ll complete the same number of units as a single degree, eight courses (48 UOC) across three terms. Our three-term calendar allows you the flexibility to tailor your schedule to suit your goals. With two three-course terms and one two-course term per year, you’ll have the time to focus on completing extra-curricular activities on campus or for-credit industry opportunities.

As part of your degree, you’ll undertake hands-on courses that integrate industry experience into your program. You’ll also participate in interactive teaching, group work, and a clinical component in which you’ll work with clients and lawyers at Kingsford Legal Centre (KLC), a fully functioning legal centre that operates out of the UNSW Law & Justice Building.
