The TC Beirne School of Law presents the Professional Legal Course Series as part of the School's Continuing Professional Development program.

Professional Legal Courses are suitable for people who have an interest in contemporary legal issues. Most courses are run intensively, normally over a four day period; some are offered on a semester-long basis.

Courses within the Series may be used as credit towards the Master of Laws, the Master of Applied Law and associated Diploma and Certificate programs as long as participants meet the program entry requirements and undertake assessment for the course.

Interested applicants who meet the pre-requisites and entry requirements are encouraged to undertake these courses on a program or non-award basis. University rules governing enrolment, course fees and withdrawal policies apply to students enrolled in a UQ program or on a non-award basis. Other applicants should note that enrolment in these courses will not entitle them to student use of the University's IT or library facilities.

To register for CPD courses, please complete an enrolment form and return it to the TC Beirne School of Law.

For advice on appropriate enrolment, please contact Mrs Jennifer Gibbons (j.gibbons@law.uq.edu.au).
