About

A Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics - Bachelor of Laws from UOW equips you with a comprehensive legal education: a world-class degree that provides a thorough grounding in the law, as well as a real-world focus on the essential practical skills and the social and ethical context in which the law operates.

Combining Law with a Politics, Philosophy and Economics will teach you how to interpret complex economic ideas and understand the basis of political organisations and policy making. We examine popular national and international movements, systems of government and ethical forms of behaviour so that you will learn the political, ethical and economic perspectives needed to make a difference in our contemporary society.

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, providing highly valued industry experience.

We are committed to social justice and providing a legal education that engages with the complexities of law's intersection with society.
