Aboriginal Law Program offers study pathway

An agreement between TAFE SA and the University of Adelaide will give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students pathways to a law degree at university.

The agreement will give students completing a Certificate IV in Legal Services entry into the Bachelor of Laws program at the University of Adelaide from 2012 onwards.

The new study pathway is known as the Aboriginal Law Program.
"We're proud of our role in the tertiary education of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students," said the Acting Executive Dean of the Faculty of Professions and Dean of the University of Adelaide's Law School, Professor John Williams.

"We have been actively working to increase the participation of Indigenous students in Law for a number of years now. We're pleased to be able to add a new pathway to our Law degree and we look forward to welcoming new students through the Aboriginal Law Program," he said.
