Law
The study of law does more than create career opportunities — it allows the development of many important intellectual skills.
Good lawyers possess proficient language skills, clear thought processes and the ability to resolve complex problems, which have both a legal and a human component.
Not a day passes without legal issues forming a significant part of the daily news. This illustrates that law does not exist in a vacuum but is an integral part of modern living and that legal issues raise social and, at times, political issues.
An understanding of the way in which the law deals with these complex issues allows more informed debate and criticism, both for cases decided by the courts and of proposed legislative changes.
You do not have to enter Law School straight from secondary school to gain the chance to study law.
Each of our three available options for studying the Bachelor of Laws degree will meet the academic requirements for legal practice.
There is also a practical component requirement for admission to legal practice.
There is no mid-year intake for Law. Further information is available in the 2010 information brochure.
Career opportunities
Most people who study law hope to practise as professional lawyers. You may practise with a firm of lawyers, at the independent bar, or as a legal advisor in a company or in the public service.
The study of law should not be considered merely as a path to professional legal practice and, as with all professions, employment opportunities reflect market demand. There are many other career opportunities for law graduates, especially those with combined courses.
