Step 1: Understand your program

Juris Doctor

The Juris Doctor program consists of 144 units in total (24 courses of 6 units) or the equivalent of three years full-time study, distributed as follows:

  • 15 compulsory courses (90 units)
  • 9 Law elective courses (54 units)
    Including a Work-Integrated Capstone Course (6 units) from the list on our website.

Specialisations

Students may choose to complete one or more of the specialisations listed below as part of their Law degree by completing four Law elective courses listed under the relevant specialisation on our website, under the Study tab.

Law elective courses are generally not undertaken until the second year of the program. Students are also not required to nominate a specialisation at the start of their program, and specialisations can be changed at a later stage. As such, we encourage new students to keep specialisations in mind, but not to be concerned about deciding on this at the commencement of their law degree.

Please note that specialisations are optional and are not required for graduation.

Step 2: Choose your courses

Step 3: Enrol in your courses on ANUHub

ANUHub allows students to enrol, view invoices, check grades, confirm graduation eligibility, pay fees, submit commonwealth assistance forms (CAF), maintain personal information.

Step 5: Textbooks, assessments due dates and learning outcomes

A Class Summary is produced for each course and contains important information, including required textbooks, assessment due dates, and learning outcomes. You can find your Class Summary on the Programs and Courses website by searching for your course and selecting the Class tab, or via your Canvas course site. Class Summaries are made available at least two weeks prior to the course start date..
