What do Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have in common? Theyve all experienced highly successful careers after completing law studies. A law qualification is well regarded and opens the door to a wide range of careers, as youll develop capabilities to analyse complex situations and devise targeted solutions based on strong reasoning. The Graduate Certificate of Laws is designed for non lawyers who wish to obtain foundational law knowledge or pursue a study pathway towards a law career.

And youll improve your capacity to work in a self directed way, thereby enhancing your ability to manage real world legal and policy challenges. The course provides preparation for further postgraduate study in law, including our Juris Doctor, Master of Laws, and Master of International Trade and Commerce Law.
