Overview

Step onto the world stage as you develop a thorough grounding in the law and its applications when you study international studies and law at UOW. You will learn legal fundamentals as you examine the relationships of politics, society, language and history in a range of countries as you explore the way global forces and interactions increasingly influence domestic politics.

Enhancing your educational, academic and professional qualifications, double degrees allow you to gain two degrees at once, minimising both the time commitment and the cost of your studies. They also make you a more competitive candidate in a cluttered job market.

What are the key national and global issues of the day and how are they connected? Where does the law intersect society locally and abroad? On completion of this double degree, you will have a strong grasp of the law with a global perspective.

You'll benefit from our expertise in international relations, our involvement in issues of global development and sustainability, and our focus on global media and communications. You will learn core fundamentals in the first year of your degree before deciding which major disciplines and language minor to focus on from the second year.

You will take part in a model United Nations and can choose from a range of electives covering issues from war and peace to international law and the global political economy, before completing a legal internship.

Throughout this double degree, you will gain hands-on experience, make meaningful professional connections and have the opportunity to study abroad where you'll develop your cross-cultural business understanding.
