Practical Legal Training Programs

The College of Law’s Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice offers Practical Legal Training (PLT) to help you make the transition from law student to practising lawyer. 

Students from the University of Canberra can choose from our full or part-time options and intakes throughout the year to suit your work or family commitments.

You can choose to undertake the online course anywhere you have internet access with onsite skills sessions on campus at the University of Canberra. Alternatively, we also have campuses in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and London.

Completing your Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice with the College of Law may also allow you to receive advanced standing in your Masters at the University of Canberra.

Most importantly for you, the student, you will be taught by highly experienced lecturers who will deal with you as an individual.

Testimony

"I really enjoyed the course experience, in many ways more so than when at university.  I found the lecturers and tutors very down to earth, approachable, genuinely caring and also well versed in the 'real world' of the legal profession...  The College curriculum is realistic and relevant, and the method of delivery I found very well laid out and structured."  2010 Graduate.
