This course combines the technical demands of engineering with the theoretical and analytical foundations involved in studying law, preparing students to develop fundamental legal expertise that is underpinned by technical knowledge.
The Bachelor of Engineering Science is an engineering technology program. Students work alongside professional engineers to gain skills in areas such as mathematical modelling, engineering economics and finance, C programming and electromechanical automation. Simultaneously, the Bachelor of Laws prepares students to meet the requirements for admission to practise law in NSW. As well as studying fundamental legal theory, students engage with topics such as commercial, contracts and civil law, all of which have relevance in the engineering field.
The Legal Futures and Technology major can also build additional technical expertise. Combined, these courses provide an in-depth overview of the key challenges, opportunities and liabilities of the engineering field, producing graduates with the ability to provide strategic legal advice in an industry setting.
