FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW MANY HOURS PER WEEK DO I NEED TO SET ASIDE FOR STUDY?
You should allow eight to ten hours study per week per subject for working through the online materials
and participating in online learning activities. In addition, you will also be expected to devote further time to
attending tutorials, as well as assessment tasks and exam preparation.
If you are working full-time, we recommend that you take no more than two subjects per intake.
CAN I CLAIM FOR CPD?
You may be entitled to claim your study for meeting CPD requirements. You should check the requirements in
your jurisdiction.
CAN I RECEIVE CREDIT FOR ANY PRIOR LEARNING?
The College’s Credit for Prior Learning Policy encourages practitioners who have completed previous
postgraduate and other recognised study to apply for credit towards a LLM.
A maximum of three subject credits may be granted for the Master’s awards.
If you have undertaken a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice with The College of Law within the last ten
years you may apply to receive up to two elective subjects of unspecified credit.
If you have undertaken a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice with another provider within the last ten years
you may apply to receive one elective subject of unspecified credit.
If you have undertaken other postgraduate study, such as an LLM or Graduate Diploma of Law, whether you
have completed the award or not, you may be eligible to receive credit for that study.
To apply for Credit for Prior Learning please complete the application for recognition of prior learning online
with your application for enrolment and upload an original certified copy of your academic transcript.
