Law & Justice student experience
Learn inside and outside the classroom.
We offer rigorous programs of learning where you can gain high-level practical experience through exchange and international courses, internships, clinics and competitions, most of which are credited towards your degree.
UNSW Law & Justice leads the way in innovative legal education. Our students don鈥檛 just learn about the law, they put their studies into action with Australia鈥檚 leading and largest range of experiential learning opportunities.聽
