Why study the Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Laws with UNE?
UNE has a long tradition of delivering innovative education in both science and law.
We are home to Australia’s largest law school outside a capital city, and our research in many fields of science and law is world class. Our researchers are internationally renowned and our collaborations with industry and government produce research of national and international significance.
Our students come from diverse backgrounds, and go on to become active contributors in law, industry, education, government and research. We focus on more than just theory, giving you significant research challenges and real-world case study experiences, where you will also benefit from our specialist understanding of regional, rural and remote issues.
The Bachelor of Science component in this double degree is designed to provide you with the skills and techniques necessary for solving problems associated with a broad of range of issues in science. The extensive range of majors, which are available in established and emerging, generalist and specialist sciences, are all underpinned by cutting-edge research.
In the Bachelor of Laws, you will develop your knowledge in how to write for, research, argue and apply the law in a broad range of law-related occupations. You will also develop the skills to advocate on behalf of others, analyse complex emerging legal issues and conduct your own legal research – practical skills in high demand by a wide range of employers.
With training in law and science you will understand both the legal framework, and the processes and technical factors relating to scientific areas such as genetics, biotechnology, biology, medicinal chemistry and forensic science. This knowledge and understanding is highly valuable across a broad range of areas such as research ethics, intellectual property, forensic evidence and the commercial exploitation of research.

Fees and scholarships
How much will it cost?
Estimated fees for your first year of study in this course are:
Fee type | Cost |
---|---|
International | $33,829* |
Commonwealth Supported Place | $13,281* |
Estimated amenities fee per year if studying full-time | $351 |
*Annual course fees only cover the cost of tuition. They do not include other expenses associated with university study such as text books, accommodation and living expenses.

Fees quoted cover full-time tuition for two full-time trimesters only. For more information, please see fees and costs.
What are the course fee payment options?
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is a government subsidised place in a university course. The government pays part of your tuition fees, and you pay the remainder.
If you have a CSP in either an undergraduate or postgraduate (coursework) degree, you may be eligible for a HECS-HELP Loan, which allows you to defer payment of your fees until you are earning above the threshold.
UNE scholarships are open for all to apply and offer financial help while you are studying. There are scholarships for students with high academic achievement, from rural areas, studying specific degrees, in disadvantaged groups, experiencing financial hardship, who excel at sport or want to live in a UNE residential college.
UNE scholarship applications are free and confidential. You may apply for more than one scholarship.
Scholarships
UNE offers bursaries and scholarships that can help you with the costs of studying and living in Australia.
The UNE International Bursary reduces the published annual tuition fees for international students by up to 20%. These bursaries are available for international students commencing coursework studies at UNE in 2024. View detailed Bursary information.
UNE also offers a number of substantial research scholarships to postgraduate students studying research-based degrees.
Your career
A combination of science and law expertise allows you to easily step into a variety of career pathways and add significant value to your current role. By giving you a breadth of real-world skills, this degree gives you the opportunity to focus on safeguarding your career and choosing the direction you want to take.
