Computing Requirements

As a student, it is necessary to have access to a computer or equivalent device to complete your coursework. You should have a good understanding of technology and the ability to navigate the online environment, which may involve completing online assessments, participating in online forums and groupwork, and responding to emails. There may be instances where you need to use a computer or equivalent device for in-class tasks or assessments. It is important that you have dependable access to the internet and a computer or equivalent device capable of video conferencing, including a working microphone and video camera, for online classes and assessments. Make sure to review your unit profiles to learn about any specific technology requirements for your coursework.

Credit Transfer & Exemptions

Credit will not be granted towards the CQUniversity Bachelor of Laws course for law units studied at this or other institutions that are not part of an accredited law degree course. In order for students to receive professional accreditation upon completion of the course, all law units must meet the content requirements of the accrediting bodies as specified by legislation. Law units completed outside of a law degree course will not meet these requirements. Even where law units have addressed content similar to that in the CQUniversity Bachelor of Laws course, the assessment will be different in focus to that required in a law degree.

Students who have completed a law unit at an accredited Australian Law School, for which there is no equivalent law unit at CQUniversity, may at the discretion of the Head of Course, be granted credit for an unspecified law elective in the Bachelor of Law degree. The maximum allowable credit will not exceed four unspecified elective units.

Refer to the Credit Transfer website at http://www.cqu.edu.au/credittransfer for further details on the guidelines and application process.

Practising as a Solicitor in Australia

Queensland

To practise as a solicitor in Queensland, you must first complete an approved law degree such as the CQUniversity Bachelor of Laws. Graduates wishing to be admitted as a solicitor must also undertake additional legal training through either successful completion of a Practical Legal Training (PLT) course, or by serving as a Supervised Trainee.

Upon completion of the above, you can apply for admission as a Lawyer to the Roll of Lawyers in Queensland, providing you are able to satisfy the Admission Board and the Supreme Court of your fitness to practise. You can apply for a Practising Certificate through the Queensland Law Society.

Graduates admitted to practise in Queensland may apply for recognition of their practising certificate throughout the States and Territories due to mutual recognition principles.
