Most Melbourne Law Masters subjects are available online in 2021 with some taught on campus. See subject quotas for current subject availability.

As a student in the Graduate Diploma in Banking and Finance Law, you'll develop an advanced understanding of the complex body of knowledge in the field of banking and finance law, including:

• The legal and regulatory architecture of the Australian and international financial sector across a range of subject areas
• Key legal issues governing relationships between financial services providers and their customers, and the theory and practice of prudential and market integrity/consumer protection regulation of financial services
• The impact of globalisation, ecommerce and regulatory reform on the provision of financial services in Australia and internationally.

You'll also develop skills in critical analysis and the ability to interpret and transmit your ideas to specialist and non-specialist audiences, including clients.

Plus, many students who complete four subjects towards the Graduate Diploma in Banking and Finance Law decide to take four more subjects to complete a Master of Banking and Finance Law.
