Laurea in Giurisprudenza

To study law is to understand the importance of social justice and use the law to improve our society and our planet. It is about developing high-level skills in legal techniques and a sensitivity to how those skills can be used to advance a range of interests. By learning to understand the law as both a local and transnational affair, the commonalities amongst law and legal systems, and how context can shape laws and legal culture, you open doors to diverse careers in the practice of law in Australia and globally.

When you choose to study law at the University of Tasmania, the journey is more extraordinary because the lines between study, research and professional practice often dissolve. Drawing on our strong tradition of close engagement with the Tasmanian legal profession and our network of practitioner alumni, you will have opportunities to engage with the judiciary, senior practitioners, leaders from government and industry and key legal institutions from your first year.
