Undergraduate programs

At UNSW undergraduate students study law as part of a Law dual degree program. This means students study a Bachelor of Laws alongside another non-law degree such as arts, commerce or science.

For example, students studying an Arts/Law degree graduate with a BA/LLB qualification; or Commerce/Law graduates gain a BCom/LLB; or International Studies/Law graduates gain a BIntSt/LLB. 

Students entering Law straight from High School may only enrol in a Law dual degree program.
