India

2006 was a rewarding year for the Faculty when its Bachelor of Laws became one of five Australian law programs to be recognised as a qualifying degree in India by the Bar Council of India. This means that graduates of an undergraduate degree in any discipline from a recognised university in India can apply for entry to the QUT Bachelor of Laws with one year of credit (conditions apply). Graduates of the QUT Bachelor of Laws may go on to further studies at QUT and qualify to practice in Australia, or return to India and undertake the Bar Council of India examinations to practice in India. Possible undergraduate QUT pathways and postgraduate QUT pathways in law for Indian students (PDF).
