Course information

We offer the LLB (Hons) in full-time, part-time and external modes. The course is offered through a combination of in-person and online learning environments.

Students undertaking part-time mode should be aware that as the course is delivered through a combination of to-person and online, lectures may be scheduled.

The part-time and external courses are accelerated programs normally completed over six years.

Modes of study

This course is offered on campus and externally. Commencing first year external students must attend the orientation attendance school which is designed to introduce you to the study of law. It is also compulsory for external students to participate in 2, three-day attendance schools each year. The compulsory attendance requirements are an integral component of the external program as the content/assessment undertaken at the attendance schools are linked to a number of individual unit’s learning outcomes. When undertaking the course externally, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure they have access to the internet.

Professional recognition

The QUT LLB (Hons) is an approved degree for the purposes of the Legal Practitioners Admission Rules. Accordingly, it enables graduates to satisfy the academic requirements for admission to practise as a solicitor and/or barrister in all Australian states and territories.

Pathways to further study

If, at the end of your degree, you wish to become a legal practitioner, you will need to complete further practical legal training (PLT). QUT also offers PLT in the form of the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice.

Career outcomes

In developing the LLB (Hons) the Faculty recognises that graduates are increasingly seeking a broad range of careers including, but not limited to, legal practice. The defining nature of the QUT LLB (Hons) is its real-world applied nature which will equip you with advanced knowledge and research and other skills and that meet the needs of not only the legal profession, but also government, community organisations, business and industry.

The LLB (Hons) provides students with an opportunity to advance their knowledge of law in specialised areas through the elective units offered as part of the course. The elective units allow you to study areas of the law that match your career aspirations.
Career opportunities include working in general legal practice, specialist legal practice, government departments and employment in private enterprise.

Study costs

Domestic students may need to pay the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).

You can also choose two introductory law elective units OR one introductory law elective and one general law elective.

You can also select two general law elective units to develop your knowledge and skills in your particular area of interest.

Year 3

In third year, you can choose another two general law electives to study alongside real property law, corporate law, evidence, ethics, civil procedure and commercial remedies.

Year 4

Your final year of study includes four general electives and two advanced electives where you can further advance your practical legal knowledge and skills through such units as commercial contracts in practice, health law, public international law and theories of law. You will also undertake a legal research capstone project, which brings all of your acquired advanced legal knowledge and skills together.
