Overview

Deepening your understanding of how technology and the law interact, this course produces engineers skilled in legal, corporate and commercial fields. The need for legally trained engineering graduates continues to grow as law firms need lawyers with technical expertise and the engineering industry needs technical specialists with legal knowledge. Demand for these skills is high.

Choose your engineering specialisation from Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Computer Systems, Materials, or Mechanical Engineering after a common first year and your law electives throughout.

The study of law develops problem-solving skills and powers of analysis. It teaches precise and imaginative use of language. The study of engineering develops creative thinking, problem solving skills and team-based skills alongside technical savvy. The combination is a winner.
