QUT PLT

QUT’s PLT is the only one that finds you a work placement. We have relationships with 400 firms, government departments, in-house legal teams and non-profit organisations so we can match you with you to your perfect placement. In the past 3 years, 526 of our students went on 4 week placements that we have sourced for them, with many of those students securing full time graduate roles as a result. We have a full-time work placement coordinator to advise you on your placement options. QUT’s PLT is a supportive and driven environment, that has real-world learning at its core.

You can study full time, part time or online. You’ll learn by working on simulated legal problems and tasks—the type of work that lawyers undertake in real-world workplaces:

• interviewing and negotiating.

• drafting legal documents.

• writing legal letters.

• executing property, litigation and commercial transactions and proceedings.

Throughout the course you’ll build a portfolio of practical know-how and develop professional communication skills and workplace productivity skills.

Our course benefits from direct and indirect contributions from practicing lawyers. You will enjoy the support of staff who have practised law as solicitors or barristers.
