This double degree combines the fundamentals of the legal system and social research, with applied social science skills. Students will develop an understanding of how we make sense of the world, the questions we ask about it, and be challenged to think about not only why we ask these questions, but also what we can and should do with the answers we find. Within the degree there is a strong emphasis on social research design, methods, practice and application across a range of data analysis techniques and technologies. This emphasis provides students with a flexible set of vocational skills and capabilities offering an understanding of issues in culturally diverse social environments in both local and global contexts. They will be prepared for a wide variety of research and policy-related careers in both the private and public sectors. This double degree combines social research skills and policy skills with an in-depth understanding of legal principles such as constitutional law, contract law, family law and international law. Students will also look at areas of contemporary concern such as consumer law, environmental law, health law and information technology law.
