Master of Laws

The degree is highly customisable – students pursue 48 credit points of study incorporating two research based subjects (12 credit points) and 36 credit points of electives based on their personal or professional interests, choosing from a wide range of law electives (such as finance, patent, insurance, human rights, copyright, family, international and common law) and majors (corporate and commercial law, dispute resolution, law and technology, and intellectual property). Course content is delivered by a mix of practising law professionals, full-time academic staff and international visiting academics, giving students access to a wide range of expertise and perspectives on the study and practice of law. Cross-institutional study in Australia and overseas is encouraged as part of this degree.

Specialisation and development of expertise leads to careers in a range of sought-after specialist vocations in the practice of law.
