This program combines the professional LLB program with a Bachelor of Data Science and Decisions, hosted in the Faculty of Science but incorporating courses in the Faculty of Engineering and UNSW Business School.

The combination with Law creates an opportunity for graduates to gain skills in both domains, which is increasingly important as data science and data analysis plays a growing role in legal practice and the legal system more broadly.
