This degree combines expertise in social and political sciences with fundamental knowledge of the law. Students study sociology, social policy, politics, public history and international studies in the context of legal and social science practice. They simultaneously engage with an exploration of the law that meets the academic requirements for admission to practise in NSW.
By combining professional studies, hands-on research, internships and fieldwork in two discrete disciplines, this combined degree equips students to consider the role of the law as a tool for social and political change.
Elective choices include cross-discipline studies in history, communication, media and country studies; specialist legal subjects; and the Legal Futures and Technology major, which provides first-hand experience of the technologies shaping the future of the legal profession.
Graduates are ready to use their professional legal requirement to support activities in social research, policy development and political advocacy, or for roles in the social science, media and communication sectors.
