Professional Recognition:
This course is still awaiting accreditation from the Victorian Legal Admissions Board VLAB. Please be advised that non-academic requirements must also be satisfied for admission to practice and that no law degree allows graduates to practice straight away. Students must be informed before enrolment and on their application forms that their admission is subject to final VLAB approval. We will have to defer their start dates if approval has not yet come through by the first teaching period. They will have to be withdrawn if approval is refused. We cannot teach an unaccredited law degree
Career Opportunities:
Graduates will have the theoretical and practical knowledge required to operate effectively in diverse settings such as law firms and barristers' chambers, not-for-profit organisations, government, small businesses and corporate organisations. In particular, the specialisation in intellectual property law equips graduates for careers in the new knowledge economy, giving them the skills to work in media and entertainment, design, branding and advertising, and in internet companies and firms advising information-dependent industries.
