Course overview

Juris Doctor

The Juris Doctor provides comprehensive training and a prestigious qualification for a successful career as a lawyer. The UWA Juris Doctor is Western Australia’s only postgraduate qualifying degree with which graduates can apply for admission as a lawyer with the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia. 

Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics

All important social issues — climate change, healthcare, inequality, political participation, criminal justice, and much more besides — have philosophical, political, and economic dimensions. UWA's Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics is a challenging and rigorous course of study that equips students to engage with these issues from a uniquely interdisciplinary perspective.
