Bachelor of Laws (Honours)
At QUT, we prepare our students for the modern world of law. What makes our law degree unique is our balance between legal principles and practice.
With our practical, hands-on approach to teaching, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Australian legal system and the core areas of law required for admission to legal practice in Australia. You will also learn about the relationship between Australia's Indigenous people and the legal system through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives on law.
The legal industry is experiencing rapid evolution due to significant advancements in data-driven technologies that are fundamentally changing many aspects of society. As a result, lawyers are increasingly required to develop new skills and capabilities to adapt to the changing nature of law and legal work. In our law, technology and innovation minor, we explore how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics are impacting the legal industry. You'll learn about the legal, ethical, and social challenges raised by these technologies, as well as design thinking techniques that enable you to respond to legal challenges from a human-centred approach.
When you study law with us, you will be taught by the best in the legal field. Our law teaching staff consist of award-winning academics and industry-leading professionals who bring a wealth of real-world experience and theoretical knowledge to the classroom. Designed in close collaboration with industry partners, our honours-level law courses are modern, relevant, and uphold industry standards.
Another way we prepare our students for the real world is via our work-integrated learning opportunities. These include our legal clinics, community justice projects, study tours, internships, and meet-the-profession events. By participating in these programs, you'll be able to build your professional network and gain valuable practical experience while also earning credit towards your degree.
