Course structure

The course comprises eight 6-point units. Candidates must complete five units offered as part of the Master of Laws specialising in commercial law. The remaining three units may be taken from any units offered in the masters coursework program. Alternatively, students can elect one of the following options:

four coursework units with at least one unit in the area of commercial law and a minor thesis of 30,000 words on an approved topic in the area.
six coursework units with at least three units in the area of commercial law and a minor thesis of 15,000 words on an approved topic in the area.

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.

The units in the specialisation will be those which are specified from time to time by the faculty board on the recommendation of the Postgraduate Studies Committee of the faculty. For further information regarding specialisations, visit www.law.monash.edu.au/units/postgrad-specialisation.html.

A student may take up to four units approved for the Master of Business Law by the Faculty of Business and Economics when available, provided the course director is satisfied that the unit does not substantially duplicate a unit previously completed by the candidate.
