About the Course

As a Bachelor of Laws student, you may apply to transfer to the Honours course in the final year of your degree program. If you choose to complete your honours, the final year will include units in research methodologies and development and the undertaking of research papers. Those units are taken in substitution for some elective units that would otherwise be taken in the 4-year Bachelor of Laws degree program.

Completion of the honours course will enhance your research and writing skills, which are important for all legal practitioners. It will also provide a pathway for post-graduate study.

Professional Recognition
The Bachelor of Laws is accredited by the Legal Practitioners Admission Board of the Northern Territory and provides the academic foundation for admission to legal practice in the Northern Territory and elsewhere in Australia.

To be admitted to legal practice in Australia, you must also complete the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice (GDLP). This can be taken through the College of Law, Sydney, and completed online.

Generally, graduation with an honours degree improves employment prospects.

Career Opportunities
Law prepares you to pursue the pathway towards a career as a solicitor or barrister, however, it may also provide career paths into areas where an in-depth understanding of the law is advantageous, including politics, the public service, industrial relations or community advocacy.
