COURSE VIDEO Google Head talks STEM 02:11 Many industries need professionals who can understand and translate complex science—and law is one of these. With a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws, you will graduate with two degrees and a suite of specialist skills that will allow you to carve out a niche in the legal sector, with jobs across patents, intellectual property and even forensics.
The Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws combination allows you to select from up to 29 specialist majors in science alongside your studies in law. The Faculty of Science also offers its combined law degree students the opportunity to pursue the Bachelor of Science, the Bachelor of Science (Advanced), or the Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics). You will complete the equivalent of the first year of the Bachelor of Laws over the course of your three year science degree. In the fourth year, you will undertake the remaining compulsory law units of study followed by elective units in the fifth year.

Course programme
In this five year degree, candidates spend the first three years undertaking a combination of science and law units of study, to the value of 48 credit points in each year, and complete a science major in the subject area of their choice. It is important to plan a major in first year because most second year intermediate units of study, which allow students to specialise in an area of interest in science, have junior unit of study pre-requisites. In the fourth year, you will take a fixed curriculum, comprising units of study in a range of areas of law including administrative law, federal constitutional law, and property and commercial law. The fifth year will allow you to choose elective units of study from the Sydney Law School allowing you to specialise in a particular area of the law.
