Addressing the cutting-edge issues in the areas of commercial, human rights and international law, the international and comparative law specialisation is designed for those who want to pursue an international career in law and law related work. It is especially suited to non-lawyers working in non government organisations, governments and industry who are interested in how the international legal framework impacts upon their work. It aims to keep students up-to-date with new legal developments and provides a thorough and critical analysis of the growth areas in international law. At the same time, the course will allow students to obtain a greater understanding of the potential for applying legal knowledge in the international arena.
Candidates must complete eight six-point units including five units offered
as part of the Master of Laws specialising in international and comparative
law. The remaining three units may be taken from any units offered in the
masters coursework program.
To be eligible, candidates require a university degree in any discipline, or
equivalent qualification with significant work experience in the area of
specialisation. A candidate with a degree in a discipline other than law or a
candidate with a law degree from a non-Australian jurisdiction will be required
to complete the unit LAW7212 `Australian legal system' (unless an exemption is
granted).
