This program is available to students who commence a Bachelor of Laws or Graduate Entry in 2015 or those who wish to undertake Honours in the Bachelor of Laws side of their double degree. This LLB (Hons) program enables students to apply the knowledge gained in their Bachelor of Laws degree in the context of a major legal research project. Having been introduced to a wide range of legal topics, issues, and areas requiring law reform during your Law degree, an Honours project will enable you to explore one of these areas in much greater depth. Honours research topics are extensive and negotiable ' if you are keen to unearth a particular area relating to law or within a legal context, you'll be encouraged and supported. The LLB (Hons) will teach you how to independently plan and execute a research-based project that demonstrates in-depth understanding and critical analysis of the area of study. The Honours year has two functions at UOW: as an in-depth project at the end of undergraduate study, and as a bridge between undergraduate study and advanced research. Studying Honours gives you: Training in research skills and information systems (archives, the Library, databases, electronic research networks) Ability to present complex ideas verbally and in writing Opportunity to work closely with a supervisor and prepare a major project to meet critical deadlines Experience in devising, researching and writing up an individual topic of study in an extended format.
