Master of Global Competition and Consumer Law

The Global Competition and Consumer Law program is one of only a handful of comprehensive programs in competition and consumer law in the world, and ensures you will be at the forefront of the unique challenges and opportunities of this global field, with regimes now in more than 130 countries.

One of the most distinctive aspects of this program is the calibre of its instructors. Delivered by Melbourne Law School (ranked No. 6 in the world*), and the No. 1 law school in the Asia-Pacific, the program is delivered by world-leading experts in the field. You will learn from the likes of the former Chairman of the US Federal Trade Commission, former head of the UNCTAD Competition and Consumer Policies Branch and current Chairman of the OECD Competition Committee, amongst many others who have held or hold leadership roles in private practice, competition and consumer authorities, intergovernmental organisations, and adjudicatory bodies, in the competition and consumer law field.

If you already have a law degree, you can still study in the field through the Melbourne Law School with the LLM (Global Competition and Consumer Law) or the Graduate Diploma (Global Competition and Consumer Law).
