Overview

  • If you would like to enhance your employment opportunities, advance your knowledge and skills in a specialist area of Law and build valuable research skills, UniSQ’s Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is one of the few graduate Honours program for a law degree in Australia.
  • Under the guidance of our lecturers you will study legal research methods, complete two major research projects in areas of law you are passionate about and make a difference to society in a meaningful way. Collectively, our lecturers have a wealth of experience in a diverse range of backgrounds, including criminal law, human rights, international and comparative law, ethics, family and succession law, environmental and natural resources law, commercial and taxation law, and public law and policy.
  • Our Law degrees have been developed with an Advisory Committee of senior judges and lawyers who have all given it their enthusiastic endorsement. Our lecturers have strong connections with legal practice and understand the contemporary needs of the legal profession.
  • If you’ve already completed your Practical Legal Training (PLT) program (at another institution), we will give you credit from that PLT program to halve your Honours degree (namely the Honours electives half). You will complete an Honours degree in law in one additional year (or part-time equivalent), including your Practical Legal Training – a great thing to have on your CV.

Professional accreditation

The Bachelor of Laws (Honours) articulates from The Bachelor of Laws. The Bachelor of Laws has been accredited by the , 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).

The Bachelor of Laws will partially satisfy the requirements to practise as a lawyer in Queensland or elsewhere in Australia. Intending lawyers must also complete an approved practical legal training course in order to become admitted to practise law. There is an option in the Honours year of gaining a credit for four units of law approved courses by the completion of an approved practical legal training program. Advice on practical legal training programs can be obtained through .
