Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
UNSW Edge offers face-to-face, webinars and on-demand learning opportunities for busy professionals.
Our CPD courses are designed to enable lawyers to fulfil their professional obligations across all areas of law, including corporate governance, ethics, property law, cyber crime and contract law.
Non-award and cross-institutional courses
UNSW Law & Justice offers the flexibility to study individual courses without committing to a full program. Through non-award enrolment, students can take a single course for professional development, personal interest, or if holding an overseas law qualification, to complete the subjects required for admission as a solicitor in NSW.
We also welcome cross-institutional students from other Australian universities, who can enrol in selected undergraduate or postgraduate law courses and receive credit towards their home degree.
