Take your first step into a career in legal practice.
The Diploma in Law from the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board (LPAB), and taught by the University of Sydney’s Law Extension Committee (LEC), is a four-year part-time law course that fulfils the educational requirements to be admitted as a lawyer in NSW. It offers everything you would expect from a law degree from any of the country’s best educational institutions – the standard of teaching, subjects and career path are the same, yet it is available to a wider range of students who may not have taken a traditional path towards studying law.
Flexible
You can study law as a part-time student via evening lectures, including country and interstate residents who will attend via a live-stream of the lecture. All students will also attend intensive weekend school classes in Sydney and have access to lecture recordings.
Affordable
The diploma is a relatively low-cost legal qualification of approximately $25,000 based on current fees for the completed course. Learn more
Accessible
If you received an ATAR of at least 68.90, a UAI of at least 66, or a TER of at least 50 and specified minimum English marks, you may be eligible for the course.
