Recommended background knowledge
The subject is best suited to those with a law degree. Due to the advanced content relating to Australian administrative law, this subject is not recommended for international students without Director of Studies approval. Please email the Law School's Academic Support Office (law-masters@unimelb.edu.au) to seek approval.
Applicants without legal qualifications should note that subjects are offered in the discipline of law at an advanced graduate level. While every effort will be made to meet the needs of students trained in other fields, concessions will not be made in the general level of instruction or assessment. Most subjects assume the knowledge usually acquired in a degree in law (LLB, JD or equivalent). Applicants should note that admission to some subjects in the Melbourne Law Masters will be dependent upon the individual applicant’s educational background and professional experience.
