Law firms need lawyers with technical expertise and the engineering industry needs technical specialists with legal knowledge. Demand for these skills is high.
For example, graduates may work in legal teams at large engineering, manufacturing and technology firms.
This could be as a specialist construction and engineering solicitor or barrister, or in intellectual property law focusing on patents and designs, copyright and competition law.
Alternatively, graduates may work as an engineer with national and multinational engineering and construction corporations or in areas such as project management, minerals exploration and mining.
This course requires students to complete a total of 420 hours of continuous professional development, in order to graduate.
This professional development may be in the form of 12 weeks of relevant vacation employment or an equivalent combination of approved professional development and/or engineering employment, taken throughout the duration of the course.
Students are required to submit a series of reflections on their experience, with particular reference to development of each of the key Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies.
Factor in significant opportunities for hands-on practical experience (including the clinical legal education program);
international study (including at the Prato Centre in Italy);
a supportive and industry-focused community (including a dynamic Law Students' Society);
and the prestige that comes with a degree from a leading law school and you'll have the ideal foundation for a lifelong career.
In later years of the course, you will be able to choose from a broad range of elective law units.
You will have opportunities to study overseas, and to undertake work-based learning, for example, in the legal clinical program and in local and international internships.
