The Graduate Diploma in Law caters for the needs of graduates in disciplines
other than law who have an interest in the study of law at an advanced level
(for example, accountants, para-legal workers, legal studies teachers, law
office librarians, administrators and management personnel). It also
increases the range of options for graduates in law wanting to undertake
further study, by offering a high standard program at a level below masters.
A candidate for the Graduate Diploma in Law must complete four approved
subjects. Candidates who do not have an undergraduate law degree must complete
LAW7212 (Australian legal system) as one of the four subjects. Exemptions for
some students may apply. Candidates enrolled in specialised diplomas are
required to complete subjects in that discipline. Information concerning
specialisations is outlined in detail in the 'Graduate and continuing education
in law' handbook.
