Course overview

The Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) degree provides you with the academic foundation to become a lawyer or work in a range of industries that require legal expertise, including politics, policy, government, business and private legal practice. At CDU, you can complete a Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) in three years full-time or six years part-time, with options to study your law degree 100% online, on campus or a mix of both. Upon graduating, you will be eligible to apply for admission to the legal practice anywhere in Australia. The Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) teaches you about legal systems and principles in Australia and abroad. You will gain skills in legal research, analysis and communication, and learn theoretical perspectives on the law. The course also has a unique focus on transnational law (which looks at how laws are applied in more than one jurisdiction) and comparative law (which examines different legal systems from around the world), so you will gain insight into the legal issues facing today's globalized economies and societies. There is a focus on the analysis, interpretation, evaluation and application of various sources of legal authority to construct solutions to legal problems. The course provides theoretical perspectives on the law and encourages an appreciation of legal issues of special significance to the Northern Territory, including Aboriginal legal issues. If you choose to study law online, you will have 24/7 access to CDU's online learning platform, recorded lectures and tutorial assistance. You can study where, when and how it suits you. As the Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) is a competitive course, you're also encouraged to apply for the Associate Degree of Legal Studies or the Diploma of Laws. These programs are an alternative pathway to the Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry).
