Diploma in Legal Studies

Why Diploma in Legal Studies?

Start building your understanding of the legal system, sources of law and legal reasoning.  

If you’re curious about how law can be used as a powerful tool for bringing about social change, our Diploma in Legal Studies is for you.  

Be exposed to questions that consider a world without law and justice, so you can really understand the impact of legal systems in communities. Understand how you might one day make an impact as an advocate for societal issues.  

Go on to study a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) to further your knowledge and skills. Or, if you decide not to continue studying law, you’ll have a strong foundational knowledge of law to apply in another career.

Job Opportunity Potential

You may have a genuine interest in law – or perhaps you’d prefer to pursue a different career path. If that sounds like you, there are many careers where having legal knowledge is a bonus.   

You might work in a legal support role as a community legal education officer, developing and delivering legal education programs. Perhaps you’ll be a support worker in case management for vulnerable women who are victims of crime, assisting them to navigate what support they can access. Maybe you’ll use your skills as a compliance officer in business and finance to ensure organisations are adhering to legal and regulatory requirements.  

As the legal industry becomes more complex, there is increased demand for skilled paralegals and legal assistants with specialised knowledge in areas such as corporate law, intellectual property, cyber law and litigation support.
