Ranked No.1 in South Australia and in the top 125 in the world1, our professional law honours degree will prepare you for a dynamic and rewarding career in the legal profession.
You will learn the fundamental principles of the Australian legal system and obtain specialised knowledge through elective courses, allowing you to graduate with the skills to analyse and apply legal principles. Delivering experiential opportunities, smaller class sizes, and mooting facilities, our degrees provide a learning experience that will take you beyond the theory of law.
You will be prepared for legal practice through practical learning experiences including mooting, negotiation, witness examination, the student-run Legal Advice Clinic and student placements across a range of professional settings. You will learn how to argue a case by developing your skills in reasoning, analysis, communication and advocacy, and how to act as an advocate in a mock court, plus presenting before a judge.
You will also have the opportunity to select from an industry or a clinic placement, a law reform project or high-level research in your final year.
Offering double degrees and flexible study options, you can tailor your studies to your interests and needs, and make the most of opportunities including international study tours, as well as local and national internships and clerkships.
Recognised as world-class in law research2, you’ll be learning from experts at the forefront of the legal profession.
We offer many double degree combinations with law so you can specialise in two fields and expand your career prospects.
