Start your future in law now with the RMIT JD.

The RMIT JD is a graduate law program that leads to entry into the legal profession.
RMIT’s close connection to industry, the use of innovative online teaching methods and the incorporation of practice-based face-to-face sessions all contribute to offer students a flexible way to study law.

The RMIT JD is a versatile qualification for those seeking admission to the legal profession or for professionals who want to enhance their current career options.

Students can determine their own study load each semester �perfect for those wishing to fast-track but also flexible for those wishing to combine study with work and family commitments.

With so many units in the program taught online, students have the convenience of studying at a time that suits them, wherever they are. Yet the program also provides the rich experience of face-to-face workshops, mock tribunals, moot court activities and mock negotiation activities across four of the units of the program.

In addition to core legal studies, students have the flexibility to incorporate International and Comparative Law, General Electives or six non-law electives.

The RMIT JD offers students:

Accelerated program structure available
Flexible delivery through extensive online teaching resources
Rich practical experience through mock courts (moots) and role playing in the old Magistrates�Court, Melbourne
A wide range of elective choices
Focus on business and international law
Highly experienced teachers with strong input from practising lawyers

This three-year degree is available to graduates with a recognised degree in any discipline who wish to obtain a qualification in Law. Graduate students must follow a set structure of required units if they wish to complete in the minimum time. Some overloading will be necessary. This will give all students a basic understanding of the legal system and of the nature of the abilities demanded by the professional practice of law. At the same time, students will be provided with opportunities to practise these abilities in simulated professional settings such as the Law School’s Clinical Education Centre at Rockingham. Students will build on this foundation through advanced unit offerings in such areas as corporate and commercial law, environmental law, family law, international law, alternative dispute resolution and human rights law.

This five-year dual-degree program offers students the opportunity to benefit from the academic excellence of two premier schools- the Far Eastern University Institute of Law for the Juris Doctor (JD) program and DLSPS for the Master of Business Administration (MBA).

The program equips students with the knowledge and skills in business and law that will provide them with useful insights from the business and legal perspectives.
