Overview

The Bachelor of Business - Bachelor of Laws allows you to graduate with qualifications in both Business and Law. You will begin your studies in UOW's dedicated first-year law immersion program, studying only law subjects in your first year before introducing Business in the second year.

During this first year, you will learn in small, interactive seminars that encourage collaboration, discussion and practical application. This Law immersion program supports your transition to university through dedicated pod groups, where you study alongside the same cohort across first-semester subjects, with academic support from a dedicated First Year Coordinator. As part of your law degree, you will complete a legal internship, gaining valuable workplace experience before graduation. This requirement is unique to UOW, which is the only law school in New South Wales to require a legal internship as part of a Bachelor of Laws degree.

In the Bachelor of Business, you will develop analytical, communication and decision-making skills that can be applied across industries. You will explore key business disciplines before choosing your major, building foundations in business analysis, data interpretation and evidence-based decision-making.

Throughout both degrees, you will develop strong skills in communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, analysis and reasoning. You will learn to evaluate evidence, consider multiple perspectives, and construct clear, persuasive arguments, preparing you for careers across legal practice, business, government, consulting and corporate environments.

This double degree allows you to graduate with two qualifications in less time and overall cost compared with studying each course separately.

See the for more information.

A distinctive feature of the Bachelor of Business is the interdisciplinary capstone project. In your final year, you will work with students from different business specialisations on a challenge provided by an external organisation. Through this experience, you will gain insight into how areas such as finance, marketing, management and sustainability contribute to solving organisational problems.

Throughout the degree, you will apply business concepts to contemporary challenges while building experience working independently and collaboratively.

In your Law degree you will take part in practical activities such as mock court proceedings, legal negotiations, oral submissions, and advocacy exercises that mirror professional legal practice. These experiences help build confidence in applying legal knowledge to real-world situations. The Law curriculum continues to evolve in response to changes in the legal profession, including artificial intelligence. You can further explore contemporary issues through electives, including emerging technologies and artificial intelligence, examining how they are creating new legal and ethical challenges.
