The University of Western Sydney Nepean only offers Law as a combined degree to school leavers. There are many graduates whose career path is likely to be non-traditional. By providing a range of combined degrees, students are encouraged to structure the most appropriate path for their future career. The study of Law requires maturity. This in turn takes time, and it is for this reason that the majority of the Law subjects tend to occur fairly late rather than early in a combined degree.
