We offer a shortened course for graduates who have already completed a degree in another discipline. The course recognises prior learning and experiences from your other degree, and allows you to condense the law degree to complete it in three years full time, five years part time or externally in accelerated mode. The defining nature of our law degree is the unique balance between theory and practice. During your degree, you will complete the academic law units required for admission to legal practice, plus choose elective units that align with your career interests. Crucially, you will develop legal skills such as interviewing, negotiation, drafting and advocacy. You will complete assessment tasks that prepare you for the work you will undertake in the real world. You can also opt for a work placement in law firms, government departments and community organisations. QUT’s Bachelor of Laws (Honours) graduate entry courses is a higher-level qualification than a bachelor graduate entry degree, as it has honours-level content integrated throughout the course. The advanced knowledge and skills in this course will benefit your professional career, or future research and study. Why choose this course? The QUT law degree will provide you with the knowledge and confidence you need to apply the law in an array of legal careers. Through your study you will understand key areas of law and develop advanced knowledge in areas that interest you. Your study will also develop necessary legal skills such as legal research, problem solving, dispute resolution, and oral and written communication. Our course will also help you understand and promote the ethical standards of the legal profession and to appreciate international and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. QUT’s contemporary law degree prepares you to think ahead and allows you to take advantage of employment opportunities in growth areas or newly emerging sectors, such as intellectual property and technology.
