Overview

Connect your strengths. Unlock career pathways. Develop a comprehensive legal education.

You will build your knowledge across underlying sciences, IT, engineering and mathematical methodologies within a legal framework when you study information technology and law at UOW. You will study real-world projects and interact with and learn from industry professionals to ensure their job readiness upon graduation as you develop a thorough grounding in the law.

How do you design and create the IT systems we all rely on? How does the legal system keep pace with the ever-changing technological landscape it regulates? On completion, you will be able to answer these questions and more as you gain a competitive career edge with this double degree combination.

You will learn core fundamentals in the first year of your degree before deciding which major discipline to focus on from the second year (Network Design and Management or Web Design and Management).

For students who do not wish to specialise in a major, you will complete advanced subjects providing you with specific knowledge while also instilling you with professional knowledge and skills in information technology.

In your final year, you will develop your own application as part of an annual student team project, developing solutions to real-world problems provided by our industry partners. You will also complete a legal internship, providing highly valued industry experience.

Throughout this double degree, you will gain hands-on experience, make meaningful professional connections and have the opportunity for practical placements where you'll develop your skills in a real-world setting.
