COURSE DESCRIPTION
If you’ve already completed an undergraduate degree in any discipline, you can apply for the Graduate Entry Law. This course allows you to complete our Bachelor of Laws in just three years, adding to your existing studies whilst beginning your career journey to becoming a lawyer.
As a graduate law student, you can develop a unique specialisation by working with the strengths of your first degree whether that’s in science, health, criminology, business, or arts. For example, you could choose to specialise in workplace law or personal injury litigation if you already have a health science degree, choose to focus on securities law, bankruptcy and liquidation and takeover law if you have a business degree or add to your criminology degree to become a criminal lawyer.
During your studies, you’ll benefit from the opportunities the School of Law & Criminology offers students by taking a hands-on approach to the law. You’ll also develop strong real-life legal skills through our clinical program with partners such as SCALES Community Legal Centre where you’ll work on real cases with clients and get a first-hand looking into the legal system. You may also further develop your reasoning skills in our internationally recognised mooting program.
