Course outline

This course provides you with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of law and the justice system. In the justice component, you complete core foundation units then focus studies by completing a chosen major in either criminology and policing, or policy and politics. In the law component, you develop advanced legal research and writing skills, critical analysis and skills in interviewing, advocacy and dispute resolution. The course covers all academic subjects required for admission to legal practice and offers a range of law electives to align with career aims. Justice subjects are taken in conjunction with law subjects throughout the first four years of the course, with law subjects only in the final semesters.
