The TC Beirne School of Law at the University of Queensland, founded in 1936,[1] is the oldest law school in the Australian state of Queensland, as well as the sixth oldest law school out of 32 in Australia. Its alumni include two Chief Justices of Australia, and, in most annual undergraduate intakes, the required OP/ATAR result makes it the third most difficult law school in Australia to gain entry into (Melbourne Law School being postgraduate)[citation needed]. The school has approximately 2,000 students, the majority of whom are studying the Bachelor of Laws. Other programs offered by TC Beirne include the Master of Laws and Doctor of Philosophy. The school, as part of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Law, works closely with several student associations including the University of Queensland Law Society and the University of Queensland Management Association.
