Legal practice is one career option. Before admission to legal practice, graduates of the School of Law, like most other law graduates in Australia, will need to undertake an additional Practical Legal Training (PLT) course which supplements the study undertaken at law school. For those who do not have an immediate interest in legal practice, graduates will be able to use their research, analytical, communication and negotiation, and other skills learnt in their law course in a range of career pathways. A law degree is an excellent preparation for many professional roles in our increasingly complex, interrelated, globalised environment.
