    Bachelor of Data Science and Decisions / Law

    About

    Data science is playing an increasingly important and controversial role in legal practice and the legal system more broadly. However, the number of lawyers with expertise in data analysis or machine learning is small.

    This has implications for the delivery of justice as inappropriate methods are often employed by those who do lack sufficient knowledge of the legal domain. However, it also creates opportunities for those with dual expertise to find better ways to use data science to enhance access to justice, increase rates of settlement, and improve the efficiency of legal practice and the broader legal system.

    Data Science and Decisions/Law is jointly offered by UNSW Law and Justice and UNSW Science.

    Gain knowledge and skill in both data science and law to equip yourself for one of the fastest growing fields within legal practice and the legal system. Studying law opens the door to countless opportunities, inside and outside the legal profession. UNSW Law and Justice instils the values, skills and qualities you'll need to become a qualified legal practitioner with a strong sense of community and social justice. Employers seek our graduates for their critical thinking and analytical skills. We teach our students to think outside the box, so when it comes to your career, there will be many options available to you.
