Graduate Diploma in Law

Graduate Diploma in Law

The Graduate Diploma in Law by coursework offers law graduates the opportunity of advanced graduate study in law either generally or within specialised areas without undertaking a full Master of Laws degree.

There is no difference between the Grad Dip Law and the LLM by coursework in terms of the content and depth with which particular courses are studied ?the Grad Dip Law merely requires completion of fewer courses. Courses combine a degree of sophistication or technical difficulty in terms of legal content with a substantial consideration of relevant interdisciplinary aspects of the course matter and a focus on policy.

This course enables graduates to extend their study into law or to build on existing law studies or professional experience in a law-related field. It allows students to focus on particular areas of interest including domestic and global business law, criminal law and criminal justice, international law and human rights, public law and administrative review, rights and justice, and alternative dispute resolution. The program will appeal to non-lawyers seeking legal skills in specific areas who do not wish to complete a Bachelor of Laws. It may also be used by overseas lawyers as a vehicle for completing Council of Legal Education subjects required for admission to practice in Victoria.
