Bachelor of Social Science (Criminology)/Bachelor Laws

Learn to critically examine debates about crime and justice  as you build a solid grounding in the law when you study criminology and law at UOW. You will build essential practical legal skills while developing an understanding of the social and ethical context in which the law operates.

Enhancing your educational, academic and professional qualifications, double degrees allow you to gain two degrees at once, minimising both the time commitment and cost of your studies.

What tools do we have to create solutions for a better tomorrow? How do you achieve social justice? On completion, you will be able to answer these questions and more as you help address pressing social issues to positively transform the lives of individuals, families, communities and their environments.

You'll benefit by learning from recognised and passionate leaders in these academically rigorous fields. You will learn core fundamentals across practical, theoretical and contextual law subjects in the first year of your double degree before progressing into a blend of law, criminology and core social science subjects from your second year onwards. You will learn how society is influenced by social, historical, professional and cultural contexts and develop a multidisciplinary understanding of crime and the legal framework we live in

Throughout this double degree, you will gain hands-on experience through a legal internship, make meaningful professional connections and have the opportunity for an international workplace-based project, or more traditional research-based project.
