This graduate course enables those who hold a degree-level qualification (other than law) to complete a law degree in three years instead of four. The main aim is to provide a legal education for the practice of law. In that context, the course aims to provide knowledge of the legal system and legal principles, and to cultivate a capacity for legal research, analysis and communication. The course also provides international and theoretical perspectives on the law, and encourages an appreciation of legal issues of special significance to the Northern Territory, including Aboriginal legal issues. This course can also be studied in the external mode. External students have access to live online tutorials as well as online access to the audiotapes of all lectures, enabling them to complete the course from anywhere in the world. Graduates of law are not restricted to a career as a solicitor or barrister, if that is not their ambition. A law degree opens up career options in diverse areas, including in-house counsel of private and public institutions, teaching, industrial relations, the military, police services, politics, human rights, customs, immigration or any public or private-sector employment where an in-depth understanding of the law is an advantage.
