Why study the Bachelor of Laws?
The LLB is designed to provide you with a comprehensive and deep understanding of legal principles and institutions that is distinguished by its rigour, depth and conceptual sophistication.
Your education in the law will include not only a thorough understanding of the concepts, principles, policies and values that underpin and permeate the law both in Australia and in other jurisdictions, but will also see you develop a critical and reflective attitude to the law, and more generally, a capacity for sustained critical analysis, thought and argument.
The LLB fulfils the academic requirements for admission as a legal practitioner throughout Australia. If you are a student from Singapore or Malaysia you may use the LLB to directly fulfil the academic qualifications required for admission to the legal profession in your home country. If you are a student from another country, then once admitted in Australia, you may only need to complete limited conversion modules to also be eligible for admission in your home country.
