Bachelor of Laws
University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW, Australia
About this program
UOW's LLB is taught out of the School of Law on the main campus and is accredited for admission purposes in NSW. It can be taken standalone but most students do a combined degree: Laws/Arts, Laws/Commerce, Laws/Science are the common pairings. The law school runs a clinical legal education program through the Illawarra Legal Centre, giving students real client contact under supervision before they graduate, a differentiator from programs that stay purely classroom-based until Practical Legal Training.
Wollongong isn't a huge legal market compared to Sydney, so a lot of graduates end up doing PLT and early career work there, but the local legal aid and community legal centre placements give students exposure most city-campus students don't get until much later in their careers.

Career & PR pathway
Occupations this degree typically leads to, and their skilled-migration list status
SolicitorANZSCO 271311
On both MLTSSL and CSOL, but a positive skills assessment is not the same as being able to practise. You must first be admitted to an Australian state legal profession, which for an overseas or JD graduate means passing the assessed academic subjects, completing Practical Legal Training, and being admitted by the state Supreme Court, before the occupation is realistically usable for a visa.

On both MLTSSL and CSOL, supporting the points-tested 189, 190, and 491 as well as the employer-sponsored 482 and 186.
