Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Laws
University of Wollongong - Wollongong
Overview
A Bachelor of Science - Bachelor of Laws from UOW will equip you with a comprehensive legal education: a world-class degree that provides a thorough grounding in the law, as well as a real-world focus on the essential practical skills and the social and ethical context in which the law operates.
Combining Law with Science allows you to gain a competitive edge by being able to recognise how law functions in social and scientific contexts. You will tackle projects such as environmental planning, or look at the legal implications of introducing new technology and scientific developments.
Throughout this double degree, you will gain hands-on experience in the lab, make meaningful professional connections, and have the opportunity for an international workplace-based project. You will not only gain practical experience during a legal internship but you will be connected to the broader scientific community. You will also choose one major from the Bachelor of Science: Cell and Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, or Ecology and Conservation Biology.
