Course structure
Students in the Master of International Tax must complete 100 credit points from the prescribed list. If students are required or choose to undertake Foundations of Tax Law, they should choose the remaining 87.5 credit points from the prescribed list. However, up to 25 credit points may be selected from the subjects offered in the Master of Tax or Master of Commercial Law by students enrolled in the Master of International Tax.
Note: Most subjects in the MLM program are 12.5 credit points each. Check individual subject handbook entries for confirmation.
Foundations of Tax Law
All international students (students from other jurisdictions) are required to undertake Foundations of Tax Law, offered as an intensive in Semester 1 and 2. This subject provides a necessary grounding in Australian common law and statutory law of taxation, enabling a comparison with students’ home country tax systems. It provides the foundation for successful study in the other tax subjects studied in the course and is also recommended for all Masters students who have had little previous study or experience in tax law and wish to gain a solid grounding in the area.
Recommended international tax subjects
All international students are also recommended to undertake the subject International Tax: Principles and Structure, offered as a semester-length subject in Semester 1 or as an intensive subject in Semester 2.
