This six-year combined degree will provide you with an excellent foundation for a career in law or engineering. Your engineering studies will emphasise the practical aspects of science, while your law studies will focus on the interpretation and application of the legal system. You can combine any of the Bachelor of Engineering Honours streams with a Bachelor of Laws.
The Bachelor of Engineering Honours and Bachelor of Laws at the University of Sydney enables candidates to complete both degrees simultaneously. This provides graduates with the option to pursue careers in either profession, or enhance their career options with a second discipline. Whilst the Bachelor of Engineering Honours emphasises the practical aspects of science, the Bachelor of Laws focuses on the interpretation and application of the legal system. You will take the equivalent of the first year of the Bachelor of Laws over the course of the four year engineering degree. In the fifth year, you will undertake the remaining compulsory law units of study followed by elective units in the fifth year.
