Graduate with Global Relevance
:: our vision for 2008 and beyond
2008 will see the development of new programs of study and curriculum changes to many of our law courses. These innovations will ensure that a UTS:LAW degree remains a highly valuable qualification and will keep our graduates sought after by employers globally as we face the challenges of the 21st Century.
Why a Curriculum Review
Increasingly, what employers both local and international look for is strong knowledge of the foundations of the common law legal method, immersion in doctrines even if they are difficult, an appreciation of the social and moral context in which law operates and a strong set of advocacy, research & acumen skills.
The review committee looked at refreshing the law program in such a way as to continue to make UTS graduates highly regarded in the profession. To that end, the review asked:
* What is it that a law graduate in the 21st Century needs?
* How do we embed desirable values, attributes and perspectives into the law curriculum?
* How do we equip students for a life increasingly reliant on understanding a global environment?
* What is it that UTS:LAW can offer that other law schools do not?
The Consultation Process
The curriculum review drew upon developments around Australia and internationally as well as involving the participation of all stakeholders in an atmosphere of collective critical reflection. We consulted with:
* The legal profession and other community links - Law Firms, Law Reform Commissioners and Regulatory Boards;
* Our students - through discussions with student representatives on the Curriculum Review Steering Committee, representatives of the Law Students Society and through web questionnaires;
* UTS:LAW Academic and Professional staff - through participation in working parties in the areas of core subjects, elective subjects & subject delivery.
Further Information
Details regarding the implementation of this review & any changes to course structures will be available here in August 2007.
So check for more info in august!
