Graduate Diploma in International Law at The University of Western Australia (UWA)

The Graduate Certificate in Employment Law and Practice is a specialist course for law and non-law professionals that seeks to develop subject expertise and practical skills in the field of labour law. The course is intended to educate professionals in the general area of employment law as well as specialist themes, including workplace culture and work health and safety. As a professional working in, or alongside, the area of employment law and/or practice (including HR managers and those working in industrial relations and employee relations), this course expands and deepens student knowledge of relevant law, policy and contemporary issues as well as their professional skills, particularly in relation to analysis, communication and collaboration. If students are aiming to extend their knowledge and skills, or move into the area of employment law as a specialist, in either employment law or management, this course provides a suite of subjects with a focus on real-world experiences and practices. Students learn from expert academics and practising specialists in a professional environment that blends intensive collaborative study and online discussion and reflection.

Practical legal training (PLT) is a mandatory requirement for admission to practise law in NSW and UTS was the first university in Sydney to offer a PLT qualification. Students in the Graduate Certificate in Professional Legal Practice experience university-standard teaching combined with interactive content and practice-oriented exercises that bridge the gap between legal knowledge and professional practice. They develop the advanced knowledge and skills required for a legal career, including judgement, adaptability and an ethical mindset.
