Legal knowledge can help any leader deliver better organisational and commercial results, especially in heavily regulated industries. In fact, a study published in the Harvard Review study suggests CEOs with legal training may perform even better than those with an MBA. When you complete a Monash Master of Legal Studies, you'll undertake the same units as students studying for the Master of Laws degree. In other words, you'll receive a level of academic rigour that sets you apart from others in your field.
Monash students have a track record of promotion and career progression and the Monash Master of Legal Studies is specifically designed to help non-lawyers take their career further. It does this by providing an in-depth grounding in the law that allows better informed decisions. The Master's degree can benefit anyone who wants the legal knowledge that will help them rise to the top of their chosen career but doesn't want to become a practising lawyer.
