About

This course is suitable if you are aiming to integrate social sciences with legal expertise, especially if you are interested in the relationship between law, society and politics. Choose this course to fulfil the academic requirements for admission to practise law in NSW while gaining a broad understanding of social and political dynamics.

You will acquire knowledge in sociology, political science, and international studies, alongside a comprehensive legal education. You’ll develop skills in social research, policy formulation, and legal analysis, with elective modules in history, communication, and specialist legal topics, including a major in Legal Futures and Technology.

Teaching methods include research projects, case study analysis and interactive learning experiences. Upon completion, you will be well-equipped for careers in law, social research, policy development, political consultancy or media.

By combining professional studies, hands-on research, internships and fieldwork in two discrete disciplines, this combined degree equips students to consider the role of the law as a tool for social and political change.

Elective choices include cross-discipline studies in history, communication, media and country studies; specialist legal subjects; and the Legal Futures and Technology major, which provides first-hand experience of the technologies shaping the future of the legal profession.

Graduates are ready to use their professional legal requirement to support activities in social research, policy development and political advocacy, or for roles in the social science, media and communication sectors.
