General knowledge about Science and Laws.

The major studies combined with the qualification of computing and law will equip graduates with the skills to bring technical expertise to the legal profession, or to provide invaluable legal expertise to the world of information technology - a world increasingly exposed to the threat of litigation and breaches of security. In addition to the objectives of the Bachelor of Computing program, the Bachelor of Laws component aims to provide students with the basic academic preparation to enter the legal profession and other careers involving legal work, the attributes and skills inherent in a general university education.

Students must pass the first year of their BSc degree, including the units LAW121 Introduction to Law and LAW122 Legal Systems , available at Hobart, Launceston and the Cradle Coast Campus, or its academic equivalent.  There is a quota on places in the Bachelor of Science-Bachelor of Laws degree and the assessment of applications will be based on academic merit, taking into consideration previous university studies. The three methods of entry are Direct Entry (for Year 12 leavers only)  To be qualified for University entry with a TER score of 90 or above (limited places available in this entry category); or Alternative Entry  A first year in another faculty, which includes the units LAW121 Introduction to Law and LAW122 Legal Systems (or the academic equivalent); or Graduate Entry An Australian bachelor degree or equivalent.

This course is accredited by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) and Legal Practitioners Admission Board of NSW.

The combined qualification in computing and law will equip graduates with the skills to bring technical expertise to the legal profession, or to provide invaluable legal expertise to the world of information technology - a world increasingly exposed to the threat of litigation and breaches of security.
