Associate Degree in Legal Studies
Adelaide University, Adelaide, SA, Australia
About this program
Adelaide University's Associate Degree in Legal Studies is the two-year pathway exit award within the Bachelor of Laws, covering the same first two years of study and giving students a recognised qualification if they choose not to continue to the full degree, or a direct credit pathway back into it. Adelaide University's single Bachelor of Laws is a 96-unit, four-year AQF Level 7 degree: half core, half elective, but with real constraints on when students can take the elective half. No more than 9 units can be taken at Level I, and a minimum of 12 units is reserved for Level III, so students can't front-load easy electives early and coast.
