Course Overview Are you seeking a career in law? The UNSW Juris Doctor provides a pathway to legal practice in Australia.

You’ll also benefit from the distinctive and highly rigorous teaching model of small-class seminars, with some core courses taught through a combination of face-to-face and online learning. Key Program Highlights You’ll have the flexibility to study either full-time or part-time to allow you to shape your study load term to term and to plan a timetable to suit your life priorities.
