Undergraduate Study - your Law Degree
UNE's five star rating for student satisfaction and your degree in Law
The Law School was established in 1993 and has grown to become the largest law school in Australia outside of the capital cities. We have a large internal on-campus student body enjoying high-quality facilities and lifestyle. The School is also one of Australia’s largest providers of distance education in law. We pride ourself in our use of modern teaching technology and the quality of our research.
Our courses are rated highly in graduate satisfaction with students benefiting from small class sizes and an excellent student-to-staff ratio.
Aside from UNE simply being a great place to study there are many other reasons to study Law at UNE. We have an outstanding external study program which is evident in the fact that over 80% of our student body studies externally. The Law School records its internal lectures and makes them available for external students via a podcast over the internet. If you want to fast-track your degree we also provide a trimester study year and you can commence your degree via mid-year enrolment.
