About this program

The Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) (Honours)/Bachelor of Laws at the University of New South Wales is a challenging combined degree designed for students with a passion for both mathematical sciences and legal studies. Delivered over six years in Sydney, this dual qualification provides rigorous training across both disciplines, equipping students with advanced quantitative, problem-solving, analytical, and legal reasoning skills.

The program structure encompasses trimesters, with students engaging in an integrated series of core and elective units of study. In mathematics, the advanced stream delves into topics such as pure and applied mathematics, statistics, and mathematical modelling, while the honours year offers a research thesis or advanced coursework, allowing for in-depth exploration of a chosen area. The law component covers foundational Australian legal principles, legal practice skills, and leadership in legal contexts, including required core law units and broad electives. The law degree is designed to meet professional accreditation requirements to practise as a solicitor or barrister in Australia, subject to completion of additional practical legal training.

Australian Bachelor Honours degrees typically require completion of a minimum number of credit points through specified units of study. This program integrates work-integrated learning opportunities, case studies, and may include internship or placement options in legal settings or mathematics-related projects, giving students hands-on experience and networking opportunities with industry and academic partners. Students develop advanced abilities in logical reasoning, research, ethical analysis, statistical methodology, and legal advocacy.

This combined program is suitable for ambitious students seeking careers at the intersection of mathematics and law, or simply wishing to keep career options broad. Graduates will have strong analytical and quantitative foundations, critical legal knowledge, and practical skills, positioning them for specialist, leadership, and research roles. International students are encouraged to verify English language requirements and entry details on the official UNSW and CRICOS websites. While enrolled, students on an Australian student visa are permitted to work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates of this program may be eligible for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
