Our Professional Plus+ program caters specifically to busy legal practitioners and professionals.
The units of study on offer span a range of specialist areas from administrative law and commercial law to corporate law and taxation law to criminology and labour law.
Conferences, seminars, courses and postgraduate units of study are available to anyone with an interest in the area of study. There is no prior educational requirement, although some postgraduate units assume prior knowledge in the area.
If you would like to sample our postgraduate program and collect your CPD points, you can enrol in a single unit of study either with or without assessment. We offer our postgraduate units of study through two methods:
(Not all courses are offered in both modes.)
Under mandatory continuing legal education (MCLE) and continuing professional development (CPD) rules and guidelines you can generally claim one unit for each hour of attendance (refreshment breaks are not included).
Postgraduate units of study include about 26 hours of lectures.
If you would like the option to credit individual units of study towards a degree in the future, you should apply for a single unit of study with assessment.
If you successfully complete units with assessment, you can count these towards an award such as a graduate diploma or master’s by coursework should you choose to apply for entry into one of our postgraduate degrees. You can also count unit completion towards CPD or MCLE points.
