Enrolment rules
Overview
This project-based unit will require students to apply their theoretical classroom knowledge and creative problem solving to practical, workplace related issues and demonstrate the ability to link legal doctrine with 'real world' problems.
Students will work, individually or as a team, with an industry partner on a defined piece of work with a specific 'real world' deliverable. The work will be performed primarily on campus or remotely. Students are not supervised on a day-to-day basis, but the Law Faculty will provide broad academic supervision and an assessment regime. This unit will operate as a 'shell unit' for a variety of WIL projects which will alter and change on a semester-by-semester and/or year-by-year basis, depending on the required 'life' of the particular project.
