Many of our educators are practising lawyers or have extensive work experience in the field, and our strong links to industry and focus on experiential learning ensure students graduate work-ready with a practical understanding of the latest in legal practice. CQU's law degree is available online, and with smaller class sizes, you'll receive greater support to give you a more personalised learning experience. With course materials available online in advance, wherever possible, you can further structure your studies according to your schedule and learn at a pace that suits you.

CQU's Bachelor of Laws, along with our dual degrees specialising in accounting, business, or psychology are accredited by the Legal Practitioners Admissions Board of Queensland.

As a graduate, you'll also need to complete further practical legal training before being admitted as a legal practitioner. This may include completion of a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice at another institution or a 12-month traineeship at a law firm.
