Entry requirements
Entry requirements
Entry to the Graduate Diploma requires a bachelor's degree, which does not need to be in the same area of study. If you gained your qualification overseas, this will need to be assessed to ensure it is of an equivalent standard.
Acceptance for the programme will depend on the standard and relevance of your previous studies. All students need to be approved by the Dean of Law.
If English is your additional language, you are also required to meet UC's English language requirements.
