Curtin University

Bachelor of Laws

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

Give legal advice, perform legal work and appear in court as a legal practitioner. An undergraduate degree in law is the first qualification you need to practise as a lawyer in Australia.

Curtin’s Bachelor of Laws offers a rich and professionally relevant foundation in legal knowledge. You’ll learn core skills essential to effective legal practice and build a strong commercial awareness. From early on in your studies, you’ll start to recognise the importance of respecting the rule of law along with the responsibilities and ethics of legal practice.

You’ll also have the opportunity to choose from optional units that focus on topics such as forensic advocacy, employment law, family law, human rights law and native title law and policy, and law and technology. The range of optional units enables you to tailor your degree to suit your interests.

Most of your course will be completed at Curtin Law School in the heart of Perth city’s legal precinct. You can gain practical experience by undertaking simulated legal proceedings in our high-tech moot court, working on real cases at the John Curtin Law Clinic, and participating in our Legal Internships Program.
