Masters (Coursework)
Most Melbourne Law Masters subjects are available online in 2021 with some taught on campus. See subject quotas for current subject availability.
As a Master of Laws (LLM) student, you can choose from all subjects available in the Melbourne Law Masters program, allowing you to tailor the degree to suit your professional aspirations and personal interests. You can also choose to undertake the LLM as a combination of coursework and a minor thesis.
The Master of Laws (LLM) is for those who already hold a degree in law and are looking to develop their expertise.
It's ideal for professionals wanting to advance their careers by honing their legal and research skills and become a specialist in their area of interest.
As an LLM student, you'll develop skills in critical analysis and the ability to interpret and transmit your ideas to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
Applications are accepted throughout the year.
