Postgraduate
Law & Justice
Just because you've got an interest in law or justice, you don't necessarily have to aim for a career in the courtroom. Your desire to make a difference in this world will service you well in a career in law, politics, the police force, business, social work or the growing area of dispute resolution.
ECU has the newest law school in Western Australia.
Case studies vs real cases
Case studies are an effective way to learn, but nothing can beat learning from real life.
Our Law students have the chance to gain practical legal experience at the Northern Suburbs Community Legal Centre on Joondalup Campus, assisting in legal research under the supervision of legal practitioners.
The best aspect of my course has been the network of support
From a young age I have enjoyed learning about human behavior and the thought processes behind peoples actions. I decided to complete my masters in criminal justice at ECU so I could gain a broader understanding of the criminal justice system, policy reform and how implemented changes can impact upon social issues.
The masters program has proved challenging, but with the help, motivation and support of the law and justice teaching staff behind me, I feel confident in finishing a thesis I will be proud of.
I have acquired indispensable skills such as conflict resolution, public speaking, working within a team, case management, learning how to present papers or reports and so much more than I had anticipated.
