The Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Laws equips students with an extensive portfolio of knowledge and skills. In this comprehensive program of study, students develop contemporary skills in how to write for, research, argue and apply the law, as well as explore a full breadth of contemporary science topics and issues. Students graduate with knowledge and skills applicable to a wide range of professions, benefitting from UNE’s regional, rural and remote expertise in both fields.
UNE is home to Australia’s largest law school outside a capital city, and research in many fields of science and law is world class. UNE researchers are internationally renowned and collaborations with industry and government produce research of national and international significance. Students come from diverse backgrounds and go on to become active contributors in law, industry, education, government and research. The focus is on more than just theory, giving students significant research challenges and real-world case study experiences.
The Bachelor of Science component provides students with the skills and techniques necessary for solving problems associated with a broad range of issues in science. The extensive range of majors are available in established and emerging, generalist and specialist sciences, underpinned by cutting-edge research. In the Bachelor of Laws, students develop skills to advocate on behalf of others, analyse complex emerging legal issues and conduct legal research – practical skills in high demand by employers.
With training in law and science, students understand both the legal framework and the processes and technical factors relating to scientific areas such as genetics, biotechnology, biology, medicinal chemistry and forensic science. This knowledge is highly valuable across areas such as research ethics, intellectual property, forensic evidence and the commercial exploitation of research.
