Our Bachelor of Project Management gives you the skills and knowledge to excel in the professional realm. You will:

• research project management practices and concepts

LAW

16 Law

There are few disciplines more challenging or satisfying than law. The deep analytical thinking developed from a law degree is sought-after not only in the legal profession, but in many other areas of employment, including commercial and government sectors.

Moot court

Adelaide Law School’s moot courtroom gives you the chance to build crucial advocacy skills throughout your degree.

Your time spent here—participating in debating, moot competitions and practical training—will thoroughly familiarise you with real-world court processes and procedures.

Adelaide Law School free legal clinics

You can also gain valuable professional experience while giving back to the South Australian community at one of our free legal clinics. Run by University of Adelaide students under the direction of qualified legal practitioners, our free services play a vital role in providing legal support to those in society who ‘fall through the gaps’.

Next Steps program

As part of our career-readiness program, you’ll explore career options, enhance networking skills, and build links with potential employers and colleagues.

Exchanges and short study tours

During your law degree you’ll have the opportunity to study overseas at a leading university and have it count towards your qualification. You could undertake a short study tour of just a few weeks, complete

a specific program over a month or two, or soak up the culture for a semester or full academic year.

At the Adelaide Law School we have partnerships with eight leading overseas universities:

• University of Alberta (Canada)

• University of Copenhagen (Denmark)

• University of Mannheim (Germany)

• University of Montreal (Canada)

• Pace University (USA)

• KU Leuven (Belgium)

Balance the scales of justice

Studying law is about understanding our society and the power structures within it. Why do we have the laws we do? How have they evolved? How should we interpret them?

Whether you want to uphold, use or change the system—law can take you just about anywhere.

What will you do?

Our Bachelor of Laws can be completed as a single degree, double degree or as part of a combined degree program. You will:

• explore legal concepts, processes and methods within common law principles and legal methodology

• build ethical reasoning, policy-based analysis and oratory skills

• gain rigorous knowledge of the areas of law necessary to undertake legal practice

• go deeper by choosing from our broad list of electives

• learn from legal professionals, former judges and international academics

• undertake internships in areas such as Public Law, Native Title Law and Human Rights Law

• form connections through the University’s Lex Salus, Next Steps and Law Students’ Society events.


Law can take you all over the world. You might advocate for asylum seekers or be a voice for the environment. With a little additional training (see ‘Professional accreditation’ below) you could guide

innovating businesses as an in-house counsel or lead legal reform drafting new bills in government. Perhaps you’ll go on to prosecute criminals, or preside in a Supreme Court.


Our Bachelor of Laws is accredited by the Legal Practitioners’ Education and Admission Council in South Australia; and provides the academic foundation for admission to legal practice throughout Australia.

To be admitted to practise in Australia, however, you must complete further practical legal training.

In South Australia, we—the University of Adelaide—together with the Law Society of South Australia, provide this additional training through our Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice. But if you intend to seek admission to practise elsewhere, you should seek advice from the admitting authority in the relevant jurisdiction.

Upon graduation from the Bachelor of Laws and completion of the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, you’ll be eligible to be admitted to the Supreme Court of South Australia (with a restricted practicing certificate). Once admitted, you can then apply for admission in any other Australian jurisdiction.

Practical legal training at Adelaide Law School

Whether you’re a local, interstate or international law graduate, the University of Adelaide’s Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice (GDLP) will give you the practical skills and accreditation required to practise law in Australia.

The Adelaide GDLP

• Flexible—intensive, weekend and after-hours study modes and selected online courses are offered

• Connected with industry—our networks give you significant opportunity to connect with legal professionals in South Australia and build ongoing relationships

• Accelerated—the program can be completed in just 20 weeks

• Strong on advocacy—you’ll undertake advocacy training with senior practitioners in the South Australian District Court

• Placement a priority—should you have difficulty finding your own placement we’ll step in to help you make it happen (many firms exclusively accept our school’s students).
