The program is available to graduates or graduands of another Faculty of UNSW or another approved university. Applicants who have postgraduate qualifications but no undergraduate degree are not eligible to be considered for direct entry to this program.

The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) is a professional degree open to those who already have an undergraduate degree in a discipline other than law. For this reason it is commonly referred to as ‘Graduate Law’. The UNSW LLB provides students with a sound knowledge of the many areas of law that are fundamental to legal work and an understanding of the legal system. Students also work in-depth or specialise in a significant number of elective areas, and have the opportunity to develop valuable skills that are specific to the legal profession.

Our Graduate Law classes are scheduled to give students the opportunity to learn with their peers. This helps establish a closely knit cohort of graduate students from a variety of discipline backgrounds and experiences.
