About
The ANU Juris Doctor (JD) is a distinctive program for graduates of non-law disciplines (or non-Australian law degrees). Like the undergraduate B Laws (LLB), it satisfies the academic requirement for admission to legal practice in Australia.
Students have access to dedicated JD courses and other courses offered as part of the LLM program
Admission criteria
- A bachelor degree or international equivalent with a GPA of at least 5.0/7.0. If applicants have more than one completed tertiary qualification, the GPA will be determined by the highest GPA of all completed qualifications.
- Compliance with the Australian National University's English language requirements for admission policy.
Unless otherwise indicated, ANU will accept all Australian Qualifications Framework qualifications or international equivalents that meet or exceed the published admission requirements of our programs, provided all other admission requirements are also met. Where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will base assessment on the qualification that best meets the admission requirements for the program.
GPA calculation
ANU uses a 7-point grade point average (GPA) scale. All qualifications submitted for admission at ANU will be converted to this common scale, which will determine if an applicant meets our published admission requirements. Find out how a 7-point GPA is calculated for Australian universities.
Unless otherwise indicated, where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will calculate the GPA for each qualification separately. ANU will base assessment on the best GPA of all completed tertiary qualifications that are eligible to be considered.
