Bachelor of Social Work (Honours)/Bachelor of Laws
ProviderUNSW SydneyCourse overview
The Bachelor of Social Work (Honours)/ Law double degree is designed for students who are passionate about social justice and see the law as a driver for social change.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to social justice and throughout your studies you will experience this first-hand through engagement with our centres and clinics. In your second year, you’ll work with clients and lawyers at Kingsford Legal Centre (KLC), a fully functioning community legal centre that operates out of the UNSW Law & Justice building.
The Social Work (Honours) degree includes studies in social work practice, social and behavioural sciences, and contextual studies. The degree includes courses that build research skills, including research design and methodology, and you'll complete a piece of independent or directed research as part of the Honours requirement.
Studying law at UNSW can open the door to countless opportunities, both inside and outside the legal profession, from commercial practice to working in human rights advocacy to community development.
This professional degree meets the academic requirements for accreditation with the Legal Professional Admission Board and Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).
