Progress and Workload
The duration of the Graduate Diploma of In-house Legal Practice depends on the number of subjects that you choose to complete each semester.
You can choose to enrol either in one or two subjects per semester. However, you can also complete your qualification at a faster pace if you have greater time availability to devote to study.
Students in full-time practice should exercise caution when considering enrolling in more than two subjects per semester. For each subject you should allow a minimum of six hours study per week for the online materials and participation in online learning activities.
In addition, students will be expected to devote further time to assessment tasks and exam preparation.
