Course structure

This is an on-campus degree but enables students to take some subjects online. It is available to law and non-law graduates. Students must complete four subjects from the prescribed lists.

Students who do not have a law degree from a common law jurisdiction or any prior legal studies or experience are also expected to complete the two-day preliminary subject Australian Legal Process and Legal Institutions.

Students are able to take up to two subjects in the online Global Competition and Consumer Law Program, subject only to the avoidance of substantial overlap with the content of subjects completed in the on-campus program.

Please note that international students on a student visa may only take up to 25% of their course online.

Competition Law Overview

Melbourne Law School also offers a one-day seminar called Competition Law Overview, providing students with a basic grounding in the competition provisions of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
