Program overview

The Melbourne Law Masters program offers master degrees, graduate diplomas, specialist certificates and single subjects across 26 specialist legal areas with more than 180 subjects. The courses have been developed by an exceptional range of scholars drawn from the Melbourne Law School and other leading law schools and from distinguished local and international practitioners and judges.

Each specialist area is developed and led by an expert director of studies with many actively connected to a research centre or network. This produces a concentration of expertise ensuring subjects are cutting edge and evolve in response to contemporary needs and developments.

A key feature of the program is our flexible format, delivered intensively over a five-day period, normally with a two-day weekend break in the middle. This format allows deep immersion in the subject and an opportunity to make close connections with your peers in the subject. The program’s flexible design also supports students who wish to move from a graduate diploma to a related masters degree. Subjects are delivered either online, on campus or dual-delivery.

Graduating with a law degree from the University of Melbourne means that wherever your career takes you, both nationally and internationally, your degree will be recognised as exceptional and you will join an active global network of over 400,000 alumni.
