Overview

Double degrees broaden your knowledge, skills, and career opportunities by combining studies from distinct yet complementary disciplines. This degree combination will enhance your ability to develop unique and engaging ways to communicate and convey complex legal concepts to wide-ranging audiences, and allow you to pursue diverse career paths within the legal and creative industries.

You will carve a competitive edge for your career as you build your knowledge of the arts and media with a legal perspective. You will study a traditional creative discipline including creative writing, music, visual arts, or visual arts and design alongside foundational studies in law.

What does it take to achieve social justice? How does artistic expression intersect with the law and society on matters of free speech, copyright, patents, and human expression? On completion, you will be able to answer these questions and more as you build a thorough grounding in creative arts and the law.

Throughout this double degree, you will gain hands-on experience, host exhibitions, make meaningful professional connections and be provided study abroad opportunities. With a significant focus on skills development, and UOW being the only law school in New South Wales that requires you to complete a legal internship, you will enjoy highly valued industry experience as part of your UOW studies.
