Continuing Professional Development and Continuing Legal EducationContinuing Professional DevelopmentThe Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Scheme, established by the Law Institute of Victoria, requires all legal practitioners holding a practising certificate in Victoria to complete 10 hours of CPD activities every CPD year (1 April to 31 March). By enrolling in a postgraduate unit at Monash Law School that is relevent to your professional development and practice, you may be able to contribute towards your CPD requirements while also benefiting from the specialist content and expert teaching skills of Monash Law School. Continuing Legal EducationCompulsory Continuing Legal Education (CLE) was introduced by the Victorian Bar in 2004. Barristers who hold a practising certificate issued by the bar must undertake a minimum amount of continuing legal education each year. The basis requirement is for all barristers to earn ten CLE points each year. Monash Law School has recently received CLE accreditation for the units in our postgraduate programs. A barrister will earn three CLE points for each semester of each unit studied from the Monash Law postgraduate program. Units availableGraduates may enrol in any of the postgraduate units on offer as an assessed or non-assessed unit. Students who complete assessment may seek credit for that unit towards a graduate diploma or masters degree. For a full range of units on offer go to Law Postgraduate Units. Entry requirementsApplicants should have a credit average in an undergraduate degree or equivalent qualification in any discipline. International students are not usually eligible to undertake single unit enrolments due to visa restrictions. IntakesApplications must be submitted approximately one month prior to the commencement of the relevant unit to ensure a place. FeesThe cost to complete a single unit enrolment (worth six credit points) in 2008 is $2,570. FEE-HELP cannot be accessed for single unit enrolments. |
