University of Wollongong - Wollongong
Grow your legal and social knowledge of the engineering profession when you study engineering and law at UOW. You will uncover the interesting and complex relationship between building innovation and protecting it. You will develop a practical and contextual legal education that prepares you for traditional careers in the legal and engineering professions, as well as in the world of technology and entrepreneurism. You will become uniquely capable, practical-minded and adaptable as you uncover international possibilities.
Where does the law intersect with society and engineering? How do you protect your innovative solutions?
On completion, you will be able to answer these questions and more as you develop a thorough grounding in law and an understanding of engineering.
Design the career of your choice as you build highly competitive skills based on experiential learning. You will benefit from faculty who are some of the best in their fields, driving cutting-edge research and providing innovative solutions to global issues.
You will learn core fundamentals in your first years of both degrees before deciding which major discipline and electives to focus on later in your degree. Our engineering degree majors include Architectural, Biomedical, Civil, Computer and Autonomous Systems, Electrical and Electronics, Environmental, Materials, Mechanical, Mechatronic, Mining, or Telecommunications Engineering and Internet of Things. It also includes engineering honours-level content integrated throughout the course.
Throughout this double degree, you will gain hands-on experience, make meaningful professional connections and have the opportunity for international workplace-based projects, or more traditional research-based projects. You will also gain practical experience during a legal internship and engineering placement where you will gain highly valued industry experience.
