Program focus

The Bachelor of Laws provides students with the opportunity for a comprehensive study of law, not only to prepare for practice as a solicitor or barrister in Queensland or legal practitioner elsewhere in Australia, but also to examine law and the legal process in social and theoretical contexts. The program will also provide you with opportunities to develop a range of legal and general skills essential for all legal workplaces. While you undertake traditional study in the litigation process, you will also learn about the increasingly important alternative methods of resolving disputes.

Career opportunities

Private practice solicitor or barrister, government law officer, in-house corporate legal counsel, corporate sector, legal studies teacher (with further study), Federal or State government employee, community and other legal organisations, non-government agencies and many careers outside law.

Professional accreditation

The Bachelor of Laws has been accredited by the Legal Practitioners Admissions Board, Queensland, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Queensland as an approved academic qualification under the Supreme Court (Legal Practitioner Admission) Rules 2004 (Qld). This will partially satisfy the requirements to practise as a solicitor or barrister in Queensland, or as a legal practitioner elsewhere in Australia. Intending solicitors and barristers must also complete an approved practical legal training course in order to become admitted to practice. USQ law graduates have the option of completing their practical legal training through a one-year traineeship in a law practice, or through an institution that offers a practical legal training qualification.
