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 programs for non-lawyers, professional practice courses, graduate diplomas, graduate certificates and single-unit enrolments. The LLM program offers both coursework and research options.

The majority of postgraduate coursework teaching is delivered 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 to take advantage of student facilities such as the Law Library, computer laboratories, study carrels for research students and the graduate common room. 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 higher degrees by research coordinator at the Clayton campus, under the guidance of the associate dean (research) and the higher degrees by research convenor.

The faculty also houses three centres: the Castan Centre for Human Rights Law, the Centre for Regulatory Studies, and the International Institute of Forensic Studies.
