This dual degree will equip you with the knowledge and skills to work in a variety of emerging areas that require an understanding of the law, social work theory and practice, social and behavioural sciences, community, family law and human relationships.

The Social Work (Honours) degree includes studies in the areas of social work practice, social and behavioural sciences, and contextual studies.

The degree includes courses aimed at the development of research skills, including research design and methodology, and every student completes a piece of independent or directed research as part of the Honours requirement.

The Law degree aims to develop graduates who have excellent analytical skills, a capacity for scholarly research, effective oral and written communication skills, and a commitment to personal and professional development, ethical practice and social responsibility.

All domestic applicants* who wish to study an undergraduate Law double degree at UNSW need to sit the Law Admission Test (LAT). This includes:

• Those enrolled in their final year of secondary schooling (Year 12 HSC or equivalent)
• Those who have already completed their secondary schooling (e.g. those on a gap year)
• Those who are currently studying at another university and wish to apply to transfer to Law
• Year 11 students who wish to sit the LAT prior to their HSC year (LAT results are valid for two years) *Australian citizens and permanent residents and New Zealand citizens. ^Indigenous students undertaking the Pre-Law Program at UNSW are not required to sit the LAT as they are assessed under multiple criteria in the Pre-Law Program.
