What do Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have in common? Theyve all experienced highly successful careers after completing law studies. A law qualification is well regarded and opens the door to a wide range of careers, as youll develop capabilities to analyse complex situations and devise targeted solutions based on strong reasoning. The Graduate Certificate of Laws is designed for non-lawyers who wish to obtain foundational law knowledge or pursue a study pathway towards a law career. Youll develop your critical-thinking, research, analytical and judgement skills. And youll improve your capacity to work in a self-directed way, thereby enhancing your ability to manage real-world legal and policy challenges. The course provides preparation for further postgraduate study in law, including our Juris Doctor, Master of Laws, and Master of International Trade and Commerce Law.
