Course Information

This is a GRADUATE ENTRY degree. It offers graduates, who have previously completed a non-law degree or higher providing it is equivalent to a minimum of 1.5 years fulltime study and achieved a GPA of 4.0 or higher, direct entry into law at Griffith University. You'll join a law school dedicated to social justice and learn from award-winning teachers and researchers who are challenging the status quo and creating new legal knowledge, models and processes. Griffith is also proud to be the highest ranked Australian University for law in the 2019 Academic Ranking of World Universities.  

As a student, you'll learn through hands-on experiences from year one. You'll make connections between law and ethics, legal theory, Indigenous issues, and internationalisation. You'll also develop understandings of law and legal work through courses that cover areas such as crime, contracts, property and corporate law, torts and law theories. 

Industry and expert connections 

You'll have the opportunity to choose electives based on your interests, plus you may undertake clinical courses that emphasise practical legal skills, insights and experience. These range in subjects from social justice and refugee law to community lawyering and advanced family law. 

Graduate outcomes 

If you want to become a registered solicitor or barrister, the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) will set you on the right path. Your degree could also pave the way for work as a lawyer in a law firm, a policymaker or law reformer working in the government or community sector, or even as a human rights defender. You'll open up a world of non-legal careers too, including careers in journalism, politics or management.  

Griffith law graduates are highly sought after in the industry and broader workforce. For a law degree that prepares you for a varied and challenging career, choose our Bachelor of Laws (Honours).
