Established in 1972 as Sydney's third law school, the School marked itself out by approaching the study of Law in an interdisciplinary way, and by a commitment to teaching law not only by on campus study but also by distance. In 1999, the School was reconstituted as the Division of Law in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Undergraduate The School has a very strong undergraduate program leading to the award of the LL.B, which is accredited by the Supreme Court of New South Wales for legal practice. We teach the Court's required subjects, as well as a range of optional subjects. Our students undertake the LLB in a combined degree structure, with a degree in Arts, Economics, Commerce, Business Administration, Applied Finance, Media Science, Environmental Science and soon Social Science.
All programs admit students from law and non-law backgrounds.
