The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) at the University of Sydney is a three-year degree. It is recognised for the purposes of satisfying the academic requirements for admission as a legal practitioner in New South Wales*. The Sydney LLB comprises two years of compulsory study and one year of elective study. Like most Law schools, Sydney requires students to undertake another degree either in conjunction with or separate to its LLB. Prospective students can therefore enter the Sydney LLB via Combined Law or Graduate Law. Entry via any of these avenues results in a place in the Sydney LLB. The content and employment prospects upon graduation are identical. The only difference is in the time taken and format chosen.

Combined Law

The Combined Law program allows students to study the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) in conjunction with another degree. It works by spreading out the first year of the Sydney LLB over three years of an Arts, Media and Communications, Commerce, Economics, Economic and Social Sciences, Engineering, International Studies or Science degree. Students enrol with our partner faculties for the first 3 years (or 4 years for Engineering or Media and Communications) and then transfer to the Law School at the completion of their other degree to finish the last 2 years of their law studies.

The following combinations are available:

    Elective Program
    Sydney Law School offers one of Australia's most diverse undergraduate elective programs in law, with around 50 units of study taught in any given year. Students can select to undertake advanced study in core and compulsory areas such as Contracts, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Corporate Law and International Law. Alternatively, they may select to undertake study in specialist areas such as Intellectual Property, Environmental Law, Health Law, Taxation, and Media Law. Students must complete eight units of study in their final year, although they may elect to substitute two compulsory units for an elective in Combined Law Year 4. They must complete at least one unit in a Jurisprudence or Legal Philosophy area such as Law and Gender, Criminology and International & Comparative Jurisprudence. The Law School's elective units are therefore organised into two sets. A maximum of 42 credit points are taken from Table 1, and a minimum of 6 credit points are taken from Table 2 electives.
