There is more to law than just being a lawyer. In fact, you have a plethora of career opportunities available to you! It’s why up to 74% of Australian law graduates can gain full-time employment within four months of graduating1.
So, let’s break down three unexpected career paths that you can take by studying law with Swinburne Online.
Suits, yes. Lawyer, not always.
Law professionals are found in every facet of business. You’ll find them working away in recruitment, the police force, investment banking, journalism, and more.
Companies can’t help but want the specific skills that law professionals have. They have great attention to detail, are critical thinkers, and (most importantly) are experts in complex political and legal systems.
You can gain these skills by studying one of our law courses – from the traditional route of a Bachelor of Laws or a Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice. You’ll learn more than just criminal law or property law. Our practising industry professionals will teach you about brain behaviour, technological impact, and international diplomacy.
Law for a digital world.
The world of law has changed a lot since its inception. Now, it’s changing faster than ever. And it’s all thanks to the disruptive nature of technology – especially generative artificial intelligence. It’s predicted to fuel global GDP growth by almost $7 trillion (USD) over the next ten years2. It’s also predicted to change how businesses and law work, fundamentally.
But where there’s change, there’s opportunity. Businesses are turning to law professionals to help them help them navigate our changing world. Thankfully, Swinburne Online courses are designed with digital disruption at their heart. So, you’ll be able to tackle the effects of emerging legal technologies head-on.
Trade courtrooms for stadiums.
Sport is a big part of Australian culture, and it’s only getting bigger. The industry is expected to grow by 2.1% over the next five years to boast a revenue totalling $20.4 billion3. And they need legal professionals to join the team.
From mediating disputes to representing athletes to protecting intellectual property, there are quite a few surprising opportunities for law graduates4. Swinburne Online helps you gain the confidence to seize opportunities like these. Our law courses cover innovation, communication, and strategic thinking.
You’ll even get to put these skills to the test, as there are three law placements throughout whatever course you study.
