Macquarie Law School

Postgraduate Coursework

Macquarie Law School offers postgraduate coursework programs for lawyers and non-lawyers. These programs are designed to enhance legal knowledge, equipping our graduates with the skills and capabilities to further their careers in both law and law-related fields. Our students also have the option of researching and writing dissertations as a pathway to higher degree research.

Students may undertake their studies on either a full-time or part-time basis, and both internal and distance delivery modes are available. Distance delivery mode still requires attendance at 2 or 3 day on-campus sessions for each unit.

In addition to Masters programs, Macquarie Law School also offers postgraduate certificates and postgraduate diplomas that may be articulated into particular Masters programs. The Master of Laws (LLM) is only available to law graduates. Our other programs are open to graduates from a variety of backgrounds.

Admissions

There are two enrolment periods each year, allowing students to commence their studies in either first or second semester. Australian and New Zealand students may apply for admission through UAC. Closing dates are generally late December and late May, but specific information should be sought through the UAC website.

All international students are required to apply through the Macquarie International, which can also advise on visa requirements, fees and closing dates for applications.
