Practicum courses enable students to gain professional skills whilst dealing with real world problems. Our clinical courses are hosted and conducted in an industry and/or community, whereas our practicum courses are all delivered on-campus. Guided by an industry professional, students are presented with scenarios and must apply real-life integrated learning skills to find a solution in a highly engaging simulation.
Students interested in a law clinic should visit the Clinical Courses page.

This course will involve learning theory from both disciplines, practical application, reflection and working in cross-disciplinary teams.
This will be an intensive course run on-campus from 13 January to 24 January 2025, from 9-5pm. Students interested in this course are required to attend every day in person.
