Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Law School
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Law School
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) offers undergraduate and postgraduate law (they do not offer a Juris Doctor degree) degrees through their School of Law at their Gardens Point campus.
QUT Law School Entry Requirements
If you’re a high school leaver or haven’t been to university before, an undergraduate Bachelor of Laws is for you. University graduates can study a postgraduate Juris Doctor degree. To learn more about the different types of law degrees, see our Law Degrees Explained page.
High school leavers can apply to study a standalone or combined Bachelor of Laws at QUT. Students can apply for the undergraduate program through QTAC
Students are assessed based on their ATAR, and the Law Admission Test. The 2020 ATAR cut-off was 87.00. Students who achieve an ATAR of 90.00 or higher are guaranteed entry to the undergraduate course.
Mature age students can apply to study a Bachelor of Laws by applying to UAC.
Alternative entryÂ
QUT offers alternative entry programs to First Nations students interested in studying law, such as their Centralised Assessment and Selection Program (CASP) which consists of:
- completing and returning your applicant portfolio including supporting documentation such as resume, school report card and references
- providing evidence of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent
- 500 word written piece indicating why you want to undertake your chosen degree/s at QUT including the reasons why you believe you have the ability to undertake tertiary level studies; and
- attending an informal interview via Zoom or face-to-face with an Oodgeroo Unit staff member and a representative from the faculty that coordinates your chosen degree.
QUT does not offer a Juris Doctor program but they do offer a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) for Graduate Entry.Â
This course recognises prior learning and experiences from any previous degree(s) and allows you to condense the law degree to complete it in three years full time, or six years part time. You will be considered solely on the basis of the selection ranks from all of your prior degree studies plus any postgraduate studies you may have undertaken.
University graduates can apply to undertake this degree at QUT through UAC. First Nations Students can also apply through CASP.
High school leavers applying to study at ANU through UAC should follow the important dates on the UAC website.Â
Students should also follow the key dates outlined by QUT here.
