The Graduate Diploma in Local Government Law was designed in consultation with industry partners and provides a thorough grounding in this area. It focuses on current issues in local government law relevant to the needs of senior and middle managers employed by local government authorities, as well as catering to the needs of graduates without a legal background in the local government sector. This degree will enable you to acquire further legal expertise, adding value in the workplace as well as providing the opportunity to hone your skills in this specialised field of law and build on your existing experience. While this course normally comprises eight coursework units, applicants holding an undergraduate degree may be given credit for up to four units for recognised work experience or prior learning.
