Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying law & paralegal studies

This area includes law degrees and also legal studies, justice and paralegal degrees. Only a Bachelor of Laws (or a Juris Doctor after another degree) can lead to practising as a lawyer, and that also takes practical legal training after the degree.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Getting into law & paralegal studies courses

Selection is primarily ATAR-based, and law is often among the most competitive courses at a university. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite. Practising as a lawyer takes further practical legal training after the degree.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2024, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?

Do students stay and finish?

Of students who started at UNE in 2016, nine years later:

Finished a degree
52.4%
Still studying
7.9%
Left after returning
26.7%
Never came back after first year
13%

More recently: of new UNE bachelor students in 2023, 21.6% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.

Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching. What completion rates tell you

What it costs, next to what graduates earn

Total student contribution:5 years × $18,025/year ≈ up to about $90,100Estimate

The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – UNE did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. A double degree is charged at two rates. We only hold one, so the real total may be lower. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront.
