The School of Law is part of the Faculty of Business and Law at the University of Newcastle. The Faculty of Business and Law has an excellent reputation for the quality of its programs and methods of teaching.
The School of Law's integrated Professional Program was the first in Australia where students could take the three components of professional legal training – theoretical learning, skills training and experiential learning – at the same time. The University of Newcastle Legal Centre is the centerpiece of this clinical program. Functioning as both a legal practice and a teaching facility, the Centre provides an intensive clinical placement site for students. By working with the Centre's solicitors and dealing with real clients with actual legal problems, students gain skills and experience in the practice of law.'
Through its first-class facilities, as well as its innovative, integrated approach to legal education, the Faculty of Business and Law ensures that graduates gain all the necessary theory, skills and experience for a career in legal practice.'
