Course description Career Outcomes

For domestic students with a law background, the LLM provides a specialist postgraduate qualification for students intending to practice law in Australia. For international students it provides a wide range of international law, comparative law, IP and trade law, and dispute resolution subjects to broaden and internationalise an undergraduate law qualification. The MBL and MJuris provide opportunities for students from non-law or quasi-legal backgrounds

Attendance

International students are required to study a minimum of 30 credit points per semester to fulfil Australian study visa requirements.

Professional Recognition
