This major emphasises how these molecules pass information and energy within and between cells, and from generation to generation, and how these processes impact form and function. This major is ideally suited for students who wish to study fundamental molecular processes that underlie normal physiology and disease in all kingdoms of life.The Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Laws is an combined undergraduate coursework degree that provides a pathway to legal practice. The degree will provide essential knowledge in the fundamental sciences which then progresses as you specialise in your chosen stream. It hones your analytical skills to think independently and to form and articulate factual and legal analysis based on argument and evidence, and to solve multi-faceted problems.You will study degree core and junior elective units in addition to a major or program from the Science disciplinary pool concurrently with Bachelor of Laws junior core requirements. You will also complete units from the Open Learning Environment, and any elective units as needed to make up the requirements of the course from the disciplinary pool or the shared pool.After meeting the requirements of the Bachelor of Science, you will progress to the Bachelor of Laws, completing a number of senior core and elective units from the Sydney Law School Undergraduate Table, in a specific sequence.The elective units will include at least one jurisprudence elective, and in your final year of the Bachelor of Laws you will have the option to complete advanced coursework and an honours thesis.
