Students may undertake the Bachelor of Laws at the University of New England as part of a double degree program, providing both on campus and off campus study opportunities.

The Bachelor of Financial Administration combined with the Bachelor of Laws provides the educational requirements for the Professional Accounting bodies as well as qualifying students for admission to legal practice in NSW and the other States and Territories, after the completion of a professional legal training course.

Today, though, entry into legal practice is no longer the dominant career path for Law graduates. Many find employment in areas such as commerce, banking, management, the public service, the diplomatic service, counselling, social work and teaching where their knowledge of law enhances their employability and career prospects.

For more detailed information about the units offered please see the University Handbook.

Entry to the first year of the degrees is open to students who have obtained an appropriate NSW University Admission Index (UAI) or Queensland Tertiary Equivalent score or an equivalent qualification. Provision is made for alternative entry on the basis of criteria other than formal secondary education. based on previous work and academic experiences.

The Society also represents the interests of Law students through its elected representatives on School Committees and provides a range of services for Law alumni as well as facilitating links between legal practitioners and students.
