Step 1: Choose your courses

Law courses on offer

You must undertake Foundations of Australian Law, unless this course is not approved by your home institution or you are taking only international law courses. Students undertaking a law degree in one of the following common-law jurisdictions, and that normally leads to admission to practice, may be exempt from this requirement: Canada, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.

You may select courses only from the list below for the level of your degree program. If you are unsure, please do not hesitate to contact us via email.

Internship, clinical, practicum and mooting courses are not available to exchange students, and students in Australia for a semester on a subclass 500 student visa may enrol in a maximum of one online course.
