Melbourne Law School
Course structure
The Master of Laws requires the successful completion of 100 credit points.
The course requires satisfactory completion of:
100 credit points of subjects available in the Melbourne Law Masters (MLM) program
Notes:
*Most subjects in the MLM program are 12.5 credit points each. Check individual subject handbook entries for confirmation.
For non-Australian students:
- Students who have a law degree not from a common law jurisdiction are required to complete LAW70217 - Fundamentals of the Common Law (you’ll find this under the ‘Other Subjects’ heading below).
- International students may take no more than two online subjects (25 credit points).
Minor Thesis option
The Master of Laws includes a Minor Thesis option. To undertake this option students complete 50 credit points drawn from the subjects prescribed by the Law School as part of the coursework program and a minor thesis (50 credit points of study) on a topic approved by the Law School.
This option requires a dissertation of 20,000 to 35,000 words or two major articles of 10,000 to 15,000 words each, suitable for publication in a learned legal journal. The two papers must be in the same subject area so that it is possible to have one supervisor for both papers.
Upon successful completion of 50 credit points of coursework subjects with a minimum of 75% in each, and having completed at least one research paper of 8,000 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.
