Bachelor of Laws (L3C)
The University of Tasmania is home to the fourth oldest law schools in Australia. We're committed to ensuring that our graduates are prepared for legal practice and that they view the law, not as an end in itself, but as a vehicle for creating a fairer society in Tasmania, Australia and globally.
Studying with us, you receive more than an in-depth knowledge of the law. The law school is closely connected to the Tasmanian legal community and our network of alumni. With opportunities to connect with the judiciary, senior practitioners, leaders f rom government and key legal institutions. You’ll develop all the practical skills to become a successful practitioner, whether that’s in law, business, government, or the community sector.
Our island location as Australia’s Antarctic and marine gateway provides ideal opportunities to learn from our leaders in Environmental, Antarctic, Marine and Climate Law. You'll also get the chance to learn from experienced practitioners across specialist areas of law such as International Humanitarian Law and Health Care Law. Throughout your degree you will have opportunities to design an elective program that suits your interests and career aspirations.
After successfully completing the Bachelor of Laws, you can apply for the six-month Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice and be admitted to legal practice the same year that you graduate your Bachelor of Laws.
