The Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) is a three year degree designed for experienced students who have completed a previous Bachelors level degree. You can pursue a range of legal careers including:

• private practice as a solicitor or barrister
• legal officer in the public sector
• in-house counsel for a wide range of organisations including corporations, regulatory authorities and NGOs.

Typically, you develop specialisations in different fields of law throughout your career – from criminal law to family law; from environmental law to corporation law, from international trade to entertainment law.

As part of this degree you complete 80 hours of pro bono work (after your first year), providing you with firsthand experience of the legal system while allowing you to contribute to the common good.
