The Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is a four-year program offering an extensive legal education: a prestigious qualification that delivers deep legal knowledge while emphasizing practical skills and understanding law's societal and ethical dimensions.
At UOW, the Honours year serves dual purposes: as an intensive capstone project for undergraduate studies and as a transition to advanced research.
Pursuing Honours provides: Instruction in research methodologies and information systems (including archives, library resources, databases, and digital research tools). Enhanced ability to articulate complex concepts both verbally and in writing. Direct mentorship opportunities while developing a significant project under time constraints. Hands-on experience in designing, researching, and presenting an independent study in extended form. Our program emphasizes practical legal training, being the sole NSW law school mandating a legal internship for invaluable professional exposure.
We prioritize social justice and deliver legal education that examines law's intricate relationship with society. The Bachelor of Laws (Honours) addresses all required knowledge areas for professional admission while offering elective options. The integrated skills curriculum prepares graduates with competencies in legal research, client interviewing, document drafting, advocacy, and negotiation. Students may also participate in international exchange programs for specialized subjects.
