If you have 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 and allowing you to begin your career journey to becoming a lawyer or legal practitioner.

As a graduate entry student, you’ll be awarded 24 points of advanced standing and then need to follow a set structure of required units if you’d like to complete your Law degree in the minimum time. The core law units will give you an understanding of the Australian legal system and specialist areas of law.

Benefit from the same opportunities as other Law students by taking a hands-on approach to the law. Develop strong real-life legal skills through our clinical program with partners such as SCALES Community Legal Centre. In this program, you will work on real cases with clients and get new insight into the legal system. You will also further develop your reasoning skills in our internationally-recognised mooting program. Mooting is a simulated court proceeding where you will be presented with a legal problem and argue it before a 'judge' in our purpose-built courtroom.

What you’ll learn

Build the knowledge and skills you need to meet your career or study goals. Here are some of the things you’ll learn:

• criminal law and procedure
• legal protection of international human rights
• refugee and family law
• introduction to mooting
• introduction to legal practice.

Studying law can lead to a career in any area or industry, from navigating human rights to exploring emerging fields such as artificial intelligence.

You could work in the public or private sector, fighting for the rights of those who are disadvantaged or unfairly treated, and creating a better society.

Careers could include:

• Lawyer
• Solicitor or Barrister
• Roles in federal, state or local government
• Legal advisor in the corporate sector or a community legal centre
• Legal analyst.

You don’t have to become a lawyer and there are many other career paths you could pursue. You could become a business law consultant, work in negotiation and conflict resolution, work in government or politics, become a writer or journalist or pursue many other opportunities.
