Our stand-alone law degree is designed to foster critical scholarship and specific legal skills and is a response to the demand from potential students and senior members of the legal profession and the judiciary who believe that graduate legal education has many advantages.
Attendance
The Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) is offered full-time on campus at the Nathan campus. You may choose to study courses at other campuses if or where the program structure allows.
As a full-time student you will generally attend 10-15 hours of scheduled classes per week throughout the semester. Classes may be scheduled during the day and evening throughout the week.
Students may take a reduced study load. You will be classed as a part-time student if you enrol in less than 38 credit points per semester. This may affect entitlement to Centrelink benefits. International students must maintain a full-time study load.
Some law electives are based at Nathan campus, some at the Gold Coast. A few law electives are run in intensive mode, including in 'Summer' semester. Intensive mode means that classes may be compacted over a week, or over several weekends. Some law electives are 'clinics' which typically involve work off campus. Law electives are not normally done until the final two years of your law degree.
Professional recognition
The Griffith law curriculum covers all areas of knowledge for admission to legal practise and has been approved by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Queensland and the Legal Practitioners Admissions Board. To be eligible for admission, a person must complete an approved law degree, undertake an approved practical legal training program and be able to satisfy the Legal Practitioners Admissions Board and the Supreme Court of their fitness to practise.
Career opportunities
