Law (Graduate Entry) Murdoch University

If you have already completed an undergraduate degree in any discipline you can apply for the Graduate Entry Law. This course allows you to complete our Bachelor of Laws in just three years, adding to your existing studies and allowing you to begin your career journey to becoming a lawyer or legal practitioner.

As a graduate entry student, you'll be awarded 24 points of advanced standing and then need to follow a set structure of required units if you'd like to complete your Law degree in the minimum time. The core law units will give you an understanding of the Australian legal system and specialist areas of law.

Benefit from the same opportunities as other Law students by taking a hands-on approach to the law. Develop strong real-life legal skills through our clinical program with partners such as SCALES Community Legal Centre. In this program, you will work on real cases with clients and get new insight into the legal system. You will also further develop your reasoning skills in our internationally-recognised mooting program. Mooting is a simulated court proceeding where you will be presented with a legal problem and argue it before a 'judge' in our purpose-built courtroom.
