The Bachelor of Laws is accredited by the Legal Practitioners Admission Board of NSW for admission as a legal practitioner in NSW and this recognition legislation extends admission to other Australian jurisdictions. After completion of academic qualifications in Law, entry to legal practice also requires the completion of a Practical Legal Training (PLT) course.

The Bachelor of Computer Science has been granted Level A accreditation by the Computer Society of Australia.

Summer Semester provides an opportunity for students to fast-track their academic progression or to catch up on units required to complete the degree. A selection of units is offered off-campus during the normal semester break from November to February, enabling students to study from home and to accelerate their progress towards graduation.

Law Students' Society: There is an active Law students' Society at UNE, which organises inter-varsity mooting and social activities for students. 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.

Intensive mandatory schools may be a requirement of some of the units in this course. See Unit Catalogue for specific requirements.

Computer Science: Advanced standing may be granted towards the Computer Science component on the basis of previous study completed at a recognised tertiary institution.

Law: Advanced standing may be given for prior study in any Australian program that meets the academic requirements for admission as a legal practitioner (including courses offered by the NSW Legal Practitioner's Admission Board or its equivalent). Advanced standing cannot be given for work experience or legal studies that are not part of a course that meets admission requirements.

Computer Science: On completion of 144 credit points including all requirements for the BCompSc component of the double degree program, students with a meritorious academic record may be permitted to enrol for the Bachelor of Computer Science with Honours. The Honours year in Computer Science introduces students to subjects of current research and a program of study is designed based on the student's interests. Students are required to submit a thesis.

Law: Students who have achieved a grade point average of 5.5 or better in the preceding eight law units (P=4, C= 5, D=6, HD=7) may be admitted to the Honours program in the final year of study. This program is based on a thesis of 15,000 words. The honours result is based on the grade awarded for the thesis plus grades for the best 15 units towards the degree.
