Law is a broad field that encompasses the system of rules set by a society to regulate behavior along with the enforcement of those rules. Law students study all of a society’s rules, but usually specialize their law practice upon graduation into a particular area like civil or criminal law.

Australia has a subsidized higher education for students pursuing the undergraduate degrees. They also give loan and grants for the post graduate students. Higher learning starts at undergraduate degree level to a doctoral degree offered in any field of study.

Students wishing to pursue advanced legal studies may benefit from a Master of Science in Legal Studies, or MLS. Because this degree is not necessarily required for many careers, it may stand out on a resume and give a graduate an advantage over other applicants.
