It is an unbelieveably BAD idea.
Daniel Johns tattoo choices level of bad ideas.
Not sure where you heard it, but aus is not by any means considered a strong country for powerful international law firms.
More specific to "space law", that is entirely under the UN's domain. If you're thinking stuff like astroid mining or resource extraction from moons/planets, that's not a real thing or issue that will be happening in your life time. You'd be much better off trying to put your electrical engineering knowledge to use creating some sort of bubble with such a strong electromagnetic field it can accelerate you to near the speed of light and let you skip a few hundred years into the future.
What about astronomy? Aus is a great country in that field.
Don't change your life plans yet. If most of the class failed, then don't worry about it. If you fail the course take it again. Ask any math or compsci major about the discrete mathematics course. I once had an astrophysics course that only 3 people passed. The final was determining the mass and orbit of an exoplanet observed from earth based on a stars wobble profile using nothing more than a pencil and basic graphing calculator. Fun times. I'm pretty sure they've changed the curriculum since then, so don't let that scare you off lol

To clarify where I have heard it from,
Australian universities are currently leading an international study called the Woomera Manual. This project aims to become the definitive document on military and security law as it applies to space. This is quite remarkable if you ask me, and certainly more impactful than anything I can hope to realistically accomplish as an electrical engineer in the sector.
Unfortunately, grading on a curve is not something that happens in Australian universities (at least mine), so it looks like I have a chance of failing that course.
