Minor Thesis option
Overview
The Master of Laws (LLM) includes a Minor Thesis option. To undertake this option, students complete 37.5 credit points drawn from the subjects prescribed by the Law School as part of the coursework program and a minor thesis (50 credit points) on a topic approved by the Law School.
Upon successful completion of three coursework subjects with a minimum of 75% in each, and having completed at least one research paper of 5,000 words or more, candidates admitted to the Master of Laws can seek approval to enrol in the minor thesis.
Candidates are required to submit a thesis topic and outline and seek an appropriate supervisor before final approval can be granted. The Law School can give no assurance it can provide a supervisor, and this may mean that students will need to select another topic for the minor thesis or not enrol in the minor thesis.
