Bachelor of Mathematics + Bachelor of Laws
UAC course code 751206
This double degree program that ensures that students with two interests are trained in each area to a depth which would satisfy professionals in both fields; and is offered jointly by the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics and the Faculty of Law.
There is a high demand in industry and the legal profession for quality graduates who have expertise in more than one discipline. This course provides graduates with training in either Mathematics or Applied Statistics and Laws, leading to a wide range of rewarding career opportunities.
In the undergraduate law degree the Faculty of Law seeks to develop the capacity of students to learn on their own by the creation of an environment which assists learning. Students who study law at Wollongong will learn law, rather than be taught law. This may not always be easy - nor may it be what students expect.
Students will benefit from recent advances in legal education in Australia and elsewhere which have influenced the design of the courses and their component subjects at Wollongong. They will enjoy a friendly atmosphere which can only exist in a Faculty which emphasises the study of law as a shared activity of students and staff.
