About the course

When you study this combined degree, you’ll gain in-demand expertise at the intersection of law and science. Develop an in-depth understanding of scientific, biotechnology and legal principles in a commercial and regulatory context.

　　Throughout your degree you’ll gain hands-on experience - with opportunities to work on real cases, while gaining essential courtroom experience.

　　If you choose not to practise law, a strong legal understanding and the ability to apply logical reasoning means that law graduates are extremely competitive for employment opportunities in a range of different career sectors. You will complete the first 105 hours of your required supervised clinical legal experience under the supervision of solicitors from our School – either in the legal centre itself or as part of our “Law on the Beach” program. School staff also assist to arrange external placements to make up the remaining 180 professional training hours required to qualify to practise as a lawyer.
