Graduate Diploma in International Tax

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

Students must complete 50 credit points from the prescribed list of subjects, including Foundations of Tax Law.

Ideally, international students should aim to complete the required Foundations of Tax Law subject early in their degree, and to ensure you can get to know your fellow international and Australian tax students.

As a student in the Graduate Diploma in International Tax, you'll develop an advanced and integrated understanding of the complex body of knowledge in the field of international tax, including the acquisition and application of knowledge and skills in relation to:

• Complex technical issues of international tax law, using practical case studies and discussion problems
• Current developments in international tax practice and influential international trends, including in the Asia Pacific region and globally
• The changing knowledge base in international taxation.

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

Many students who complete four subjects towards the Graduate Diploma in International Tax decide to take four more subjects to complete a Master of International Tax.

Applications are accepted throughout the year.

• Australian or New Zealand citizens
• Australian permanent residents
• Australian permanent humanitarian visa holders
