Indigenous entry into UNSW Law & Justice Juris Doctor program
The Postgraduate Indigenous Entry Scheme for the Juris Doctor at UNSW is one of many support schemes to grow the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people entering the legal profession.
The UNSW Juris Doctor (JD) is a flexible postgraduate degree that provides the basis for admission to legal practice in Australia, as well as a wide range of careers in government, business, legal and social policy and international relations.
You’ll be prepared for the future of law by learning about new and emerging topics while establishing a foundation in key areas of law. Our world-class researchers and teachers are leading critical debate in some of today’s greatest challenges, bringing their ethos and commitment to justice for all to their teaching. You’ll be part of a cohort of students that are engaged with social justice initiatives and driven to be the next leaders in legal practice.
The scheme is competitive and students who best meet the selection criteria, outlined below, will be considered under the alternate entry scheme and have access to a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP). The scheme is open to those who meet the criteria listed below.
