Bachelor of Social Sciences and Bachelor of Laws

The Bachelor of Social Sciences is designed for those who are passionate about seeking meaningful answers to pressing societal questions and who wish to create purposeful change in the world. You’ll forge foundational skills in the social sciences through a set of core units, while deepening your knowledge via one of three majors in health, media or sociology. In your final year, you’ll collaborate with peers to research, analyse and present solutions to a driving concern pitched by industry partners. With a unique skill set that bridges the arts and sciences, you’ll graduate with the capabilities to manage complex stakeholders, bring diverse technical experts together and progress multifaceted policy debates. The Bachelor of Laws is built around real experience and genuine connection with industry. You’ll have opportunities to complete an internship for academic credit at a leading firm, including Allens, Ashurst, Clayton Utz or MinterEllison – a springboard many former students have leveraged to secure a permanent role – or gain client-facing experience at Wallumatta Legal, our not-for-profit family law firm dedicated to improving access to justice. You’ll be encouraged to further build your practical capabilities by working with our Social Justice and Strategic Litigation Clinics, and you’ll learn within a modern law precinct that facilitates collaboration with your peers and academics.
