Law Postgraduate Courses

The School of Law places special emphasis on the acquisition of legal skills with students undertaking a variety of assessment tasks concerned with the development of communication and advocacy skills; these include oral presentations, moot courts, negotiations, interviews and drafting work.

UWS law students have an outstanding record of wins in international and national mooting competitions and the School publishes two journals - the University of Western Sydney Law Review and the Elder Law Review. We offer students a supportive atmosphere and have excellent modern facilities with high quality library resources and state of the art moot courts. There is an active and enthusiastic UWS Law Students' Association and Law Alumni subchapter.

The School of Law is also trialing an exciting volunteering Pro Bono Students Australia (PBSA) (opens in a new window) program for UWS law students with the assistance of the National Pro Bono Resource Centre (NPBRC) (opens in a new window). This program provides students with the opportunity to assist in the provision of services with volunteering organisations that enhance access to justice for low income and disadvantaged people.
