    About

    The Bachelor of Fine Arts / Bachelor of Law (BFA LLB) is a 5-year program that combines a highly valued professional legal qualification with a qualification designed for those who wish to involve themselves in creative fields such as animation, visual arts, and music.

    You'll learn the fundamentals of law and gain a strong understanding of legal issues, ethical practice and social justice. The BFA component will develop your foundational skills in creative practice and experimentation while offering the flexibility to focus deeply on the creative field that matters to you. 

    The BFA is home to distinctive specialisations in Animation and Moving Image, Art Theory, Music, and Visual Arts, each of which is led by experts in your field and supported by specialist facilities.

    Develop your artistic practice to give your voice to the things that matter, backed by a strong sense of social justice. Build your creative expression in a range of specialisations and balance them with the analytical skills that law needs.

    The Bachelor of Fine Arts/Law double degree program is 5 years full-time and consists of 40 courses (240 Units of Credit). Even though you'll complete two degrees, it doesn't mean double the workload. Each year you'll complete a mix of courses from each degree with the same number of units as a single degree full-time study load of eight courses across three terms. 

    This double degree program includes:

    • Core courses in law and fine arts
    • Fine arts specialisation
    • Law elective courses

    As part of your degree, you'll undertake hands-on courses integrating 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.

    Career

    Study law as a double degree to be a well-rounded graduate prepared for a career practicing law or applying your legal mind and skills to other industries.

    UNSW Law & Justice is ranked 1st in Sydney for employer reputation (QS World University Rankings by Subject (Law and Legal Studies), 2023). That's because we teach our students to think outside the box, so when it comes to your career, employers will seek you out for your critical thinking, persuasive communication, creative problem solving and analytical skills.

    With flexible course options, your Fine Arts degree from UNSW Arts, Design & Architecture includes opportunities to experiment with professional roles in internships and work placements. You'll build a network of contacts among your classmates and lecturers, and you'll be able to reach out to a global network of UNSW graduates.

    End-to-end legal Education at UNSW
    Completing a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) at UNSW will take you a step towards becoming a lawyer, followed by Practical Legal Training (PLT). UNSW's PLT program, the Graduate Diploma in Legal Professional Practice will allow you to practise law in any Australian or New Zealand jurisdiction. UNSW's PLT will allow you to practice law in the New South Wales jurisdiction. UNSW's PLT is the Graduate Diploma in Legal Professional Practice (GDLPP), so you can graduate from one place with all the qualifications you need to launch your legal career.

    Step 1 – Complete your Bachelor of Laws (LLB).
    Step 2 – Complete your GDLPP at UNSW.
    Step 3 – Apply to the Supreme Court for admission to practice.

    UNSW Law & Justice students also have the opportunity to fast track their entry to the legal profession by completing their PLT while finishing their undergraduate degree.
