A Bachelor of Laws from UOW equips graduates 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. 

We believe that practical experience is a vital part of your legal training. We are the only law school in New South Wales that requires you to complete a legal internship, providing highly valued industry experience. 

We are committed to social justice and providing a legal education which engages with the complexities of law's intersection with society. 

The Bachelor of Laws at UOW delivers a practical and contextual legal education that prepares graduates not only for traditional careers in the legal profession but also for a wide range of careers in government, business and community organisations – as leaders, innovators and problem solvers.

This degree is available only to graduates of disciplines other than law, with the exception that the degree is available to graduates of law degrees from outside Australia.
