Bachelor of Laws (Direct Entry)

A Bachelor of Laws equips you with a comprehensive legal education with excellent outcomes. This world-class degree provides you with a thorough grounding in the law, the social and ethical context in which law operates, while equipping you with essential practical skills.

The UOW Law First Year Program provides all first-year students with the POD experience and the support of a First Year Coordinator. The POD experience supports students in their first semester of first year law by studying their courses in the same tutorial group across all four first semester subjects. This enhances the peer experience of Law School at UOW. The First Year Coordinator is a dedicated academic staff member providing mentoring and academic support for first year law students at UOW.

The Bachelor of Laws covers the prescribed areas of knowledge for future admission to the profession and a choice of electives. Additionally, an integrated skills program equips you with experience in areas such as legal research, interviewing, legal drafting, advocacy and negotiation.

We believe that practical experience is a vital part of your legal training. We are the only law school in New South Wales that requires you to complete a legal internship and assists you to do so. The UOW Law internship program provides highly valued industry experience.
