About
A Bachelor of Laws equips you with a comprehensive legal education. This world-class degree provides you with a thorough grounding in the law, the social and ethical context in which law operates, while equipping you with essential practical skills.
The UOW Law First Year Program provides all first-year students with the support of a First Year Coordinator and the POD (small group) experience, in which students remain in the same tutorial group across all four first semester subjects.
