Through the Diploma of Justice Administration/ Bachelor or Laws dual offer, CQIT graduates will receive guaranteed entry into the Bachelor of Laws.

Topics studied include Justice and Law Enforcement. Individuals will be able to work in an admin, managerial and/or law enforcement capacity in public or private organisations within the justice industry.
The Bachelor of Laws program covers all the areas of law required to satisfy professional accreditation and enables graduates to proceed to practice as a legal practitioner after completing the required professional training.

TAFE has long been a recognised pathway to university study and CQUniversity is pleased to announce a wide range of dual offer programs available with Central Queensland Institute of TAFE (CQIT) to make it even easier for students to start their university journey at TAFE.
The Diploma of Justice Administration/ Bachelor of Laws dual offer program is accredited with the Legal Practitioners Board of Queensland. It is unique as it is a three-year undergraduate degree that is studied by distance education. During this program we cover the coursework and theoretical concepts required to work in the profession. In order to be admitted as a legal practitioner to practice law in Australia, law graduates are required to undergo a period of practical legal training. This practical training needs to be completed outside of CQUniversity’s law program.
As one of the leading providers of distance education, we ensure that all of our distance education programs are delivered using engaging teaching methods that effectively deliver the program content. Our experienced, dedicated staff provide you with a high level of support, offering a number of services that are available for use at any time from wherever you may be studying.
On completing a Bachelor of Laws program and a period of practical legal training you will be eligible for admission as a legal practitioner. As a law graduate you are able to pursue legal careers such as:
A law degree is also useful for those seeking careers as academics in business, in the public service, as merchant bankers, diplomats or politicians.
You are required to complete a total of 24 courses by distance education, all of which are compulsory core subjects.

Completing a dual offer program application is easy. Dual offers allow you to apply for a CQIT Diploma and a university qualification at the same time (one QTAC application only). Upon successful completion of your TAFE studies you will be able to progress seamlessly into CQUniversity’s Bachelor of Laws (with full credit for successful study).
This program is an approved academic qualification for admission to the legal profession. Upon graduation, you are also required to undertake a further period of practical legal training before being admitted as a legal practitioner.
This program is accredited by the Legal Practitioners Admission Board of Queensland.
