QUT Legal Practice has been providing quality practical legal training to law graduates for more than 30 years.

We have close relationships with many leading Queensland solicitors, barristers, and judges who assist us by teaching students, providing materials, assessing advocacy skills, and providing on-going advice to keep the course up-to-date and relevant.

Courses

Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice (PLT)

This highly practical postgraduate course satisfies the practical training requirement for admission to the legal profession. We have three streams for the course:

• Part-time (in practice): designed for people already working in a law office
• Part-time (general): for people who are not working in a law office and wish to complete the course part–time
• Full-time: for people who wish to complete in the shortest possible time as full-time students
