Bachelor
The Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) provides you with the academic foundation for admission to legal practice. In that context, the course provides you with knowledge of the law, legal processes and legal principles and cultivates a capacity for legal research, analysis and communication.
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 also deals with theoretical perspectives on the law and encourages an appreciation of legal issues of special significance to the Northern Territory, including Aboriginal legal issues.
This Bachelor-level course has an entry pathway for students who already hold an undergraduate degree. The course structure and content is the same as the standard Bachelor of Laws, however the course title is distinguished by the inclusion of `Graduate Entry' to place distinction on a graduate's multiple qualifications.
Successful completion of a recognised bachelor degree, master's degree, PhD (other than law) or equivalent international qualification.
The course is divided between core units and specialist electives. Most of the core units are those prescribed by the legal profession as essential for meeting the academic requirements for admission to legal practice in Australia. The specialist electives are designed to allow students to gain understanding of a range of other aspects of the law, including family law, international law, and competition and consumer law.
