The University has welcomed international students for more than 50 years and values their many contributions to the academic experience. This involves a great deal more than just working towards an internationally-respected degree. It also includes opportunities for friendship, comradeship and personal growth.

The LLB program offered by the TC Beirne School of Law has students from all regions of the world, including Singapore, Malaysia, The United States of America, Canada, Papua New Guinea, the People’s Republic of China, Germany and many more. Click here to see a short video about Brisbane.

Applications from prospective international students are assessed by the University on a case by case basis. Eligibility depends on your ability to satisfy academic qualifications and standards plus minimum English language requirements.

A Bachelor of Laws degree from UQ is internationally recognised. If you are a student from Singapore or Malaysia you may use the four year LLB to directly fulfil the academic qualifications required for admission to the legal profession in your home country.

• Singapore

  Students enrolled in a dual LLB degree or the Graduate Entry LLB must apply for exemption from the ‘Qualified Person’ requirements for admission to the Singapore Bar.

  For further information, visit the Singapore Ministry of Law website.

• Malaysia

  Students from Malaysia should refer to the information provided on the following websites: 

  • Legal Profession Qualifying Board – www.lpqb.org.my.
  • The Malaysian Bar - www.malaysianbar.org.my/admission_requirements.html

• Other countries

  If you are a student from another country, then once admitted in Australia, you may only need to complete limited conversion modules to also be eligible for admission in your home country.

For further general information about recognition of Australian law degrees overseas, and about studying law in Australia, visit the Council of Australian Law Deans Studying Law in Australia website at: www.cald.asn.au/slia/Australia.htm#Will

Programs fees are calculated on a per unit (#) basis. All law courses comprise two units. Note that you are permitted to take eight units of non-law elective courses in the LLB which may be charged at a lower rate.

Commonwealth supported places are partially funded by the Government, which pays money directly to UQ. Students are required to pay a student contribution amount which varies depending on courses undertaken. If you are an Australian citizen or the holder of a permanent humanitarian visa you will be eligible for HECS-HELP, and will be entitled to a 10% discount if you choose to pay your student contribution amounts up front, rather than deferring this payment. If you are a New Zealand citizen or the holder of a permanent non-humanitarian visa you are still considered to be a domestic student and can apply for a Commonwealth supported place, but you will not be eligible for HECS-HELP and must pay your student contribution amounts up front.

International students must pay full tuition fees. See the fees calculator below.

To calculate your fees, go to the ‘Fees calculator'.

More information about the reforms and loans programs for domestic students is available here.

The Law School offers the TC Beirne School of Law LLB Scholarship annually to domestic students enrolled or enrolling in the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) program. Visit the Scholarships and Prizes page for further information.

Applications must be made through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC).

Applications for both a single LLB and dual degrees with the LLB are made through the University's International Admissions Section. For the requirements and procedure for submitting applications, and to download an application form, visit www.uq.edu.au/study/index.html?id=955.
