Master of Laws

The Master of Laws (LLM) provides law and non-law graduates with a flexible postgraduate opportunity to develop advanced, integrated and contemporary knowledge in one or more areas of legal study. The LLM is a sophisticated degree with substantial consideration of relevant professional and transdisciplinary aspects of the law which will enhance student career expertise and prospects. The program develops advanced legal research and writing skills and enhances the ability of students to critically evaluate complex legal issues. All students will have the opportunity to apply their legal knowledge and skills by conducting independent research and by engaging in analytical studies on specialised topics in the student’s areas of interest. Students may select one or more minors from a pool comprising Legal Issues in Construction, Studies in Australian Migration Law, Finance and Tax Law, and Human Rights Law. If you have completed relevant prior study or have relevant professional experience, you may be eligible for credit towards the Master of Laws which can reduce the program’s duration. Note: This program does NOT satisfy the academic degree requirements for admission to practice as an Australian lawyer.
