Introduction to the faculty

Monash Law's postgraduate program endeavours to provide further education to lawyers and non-lawyers to assist them to update their skills, specialise in specific areas of the law, undertake research and move into a career in law.

The program curriculum includes Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Juridical Science, Master of Laws (LLM), Master of Philosophy, masters for non-lawyers, professional practice courses, graduate diplomas, graduate certificates and single-unit enrolments (assessed and non-assessed). The LLM program offers both coursework and research options.
The majority of classes are held at the Monash University Law Chambers, located at 472 Bourke Street, Melbourne (next to the Law Institute). Some classes are offered at the Clayton campus, with student facilities such as computer laboratories, study carrels for research students, the graduate common room and Law Library all located at this campus. Some units are offered online or in flexible delivery mode.
The administration of the postgraduate coursework program is handled by the postgraduate studies officers at the Law Chambers, under the guidance of the associate dean (Postgraduate Studies). The research program is administered by the executive officer, research administration at the Clayton campus, under the guidance of the associate dean (research).
