Overseas winter & summer schools
UNSW Law School recognizes there is a growing trend in offering international learning experiences, and has collaborated with several overseas institutions to be able to offer UNSW Law students opportunities to participate in various Summer and Winter School programs. These programs take place during the Summer or Winter breaks between the two main semesters of study at UNSW, and each course is worth 6 Units of Credit towards the completion of a UNSW Law degree program (in place of a 6 UOC law elective).
Currently there are opportunities for UNSW Law students to participate in Summer & Winter school programs in Beijing, Shanghai, New York, Prato and many more to be added over time. Information about each program available is listed on this page, with links to material with further information and instruction on when the program takes place, how to apply, and when to apply.
