Many of our everyday actions are influenced by the legal system. The law provides a structure that helps society to operate. The study and practice of law is both challenging and rewarding. Studying Law will teach you to think rationally and express yourself clearly and, because the law is so closely linked to society, you’ll also gain a better understanding of human behaviour. If you are looking to quickly acquire new skills for a new career, a graduate certificate is a great option for you. Graduate certificates are intended to develop your knowledge and skills in a subject area that is different to your first degree's major. You may be eligible if you haven't studied for a degree before if you can demonstrate an interest in the subject area and a satisfactory academic ability. By choosing to study a graduate certificate you can quickly develop career competency in a single subject area. A graduate certificate is a shorter version of a graduate diploma, is studied at undergraduate level, and can be completed in the equivalent of one semester of full-time study. Candidates must gain 60 points at 100 level or above, including at least 40 points at 300 level or above, in the Graduate Certificate subjects.
