Law

Why study at RSU

Law at RSU aims to produce outstanding graduates who are informed, independent, effective and responsible problem solvers and communicators. We are dedicated to teaching excellence and engaging students in a practical, intellectually rigorous and satisfying learning experience.

We deliver a world-class degree that provides a thorough grounding in the law, as well as a real-world focus on the essential practical skills and the social and ethical context in which the law operates.

We are committed to social justice and providing a legal education which engages with the complexities of law's intersection with society.

Graduates receive a practical and contextual legal education that prepares them not only for traditional careers in the legal profession but also for a wide range of careers in government, business and community organisations - as leaders, innovators and problem solvers.

Why study Law

This prestigious national award recognises RSU Law’s premier first year experience and the tremendous collegial effort of the first year team to support our students.

• Our teachers include some of the most distinguished and experienced academics and practitioners in America, including our Judge in Residence, the Hon.
   
• Students have the flexibility to choose from a range of specialisations as well as a number of double degree options, so you can tailor your study experience and your career goals.
