Sydney Law School provides further study opportunities with law scholarships and fast-track postgraduate programs.

Sydney Law School continues to lead the way with further study. Through our law scholarship and fast-track postgraduate programs, we provide opportunities for students and alumni to undertake further study, whether at our beautiful campus in Sydney or through facilitated streamlined pathways at a world-leading university, abroad.

Sydney Law School has a reputation for:

  • equipping students with sought-after skills for the global marketplace
  • preparing graduates to be the most employable in the world
  • academic excellence and teaching by globally recognised legal educators and respected professional practitioners
  • providing practical and advanced learning student experiences.

This is why our students and alumni look to us for further study opportunities. We provide a continued learning pathway for students and graduates during their career journey, as they excel and become leaders in their various careers.

Law is a demanding discipline, and we recognise the ambitious nature of our students. With a commitment to lifelong learning for our past, present and future students, we provide the required opportunities to facilitate advanced learning through our law scholarship and international pathway programs. 

Further study opportunities

International Pathways Program

Sydney Law School’s International Pathways Program offers LLB and JD students the opportunity to undertake their final semester of study abroad, and fast-track into a postgraduate masters program at a world-leading law school.

The program allows high-achieving students to receive a Sydney LLB or JD and a masters degree at another world leading law school. We have strong global partnerships with top universities including University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, and National University of Singapore.

The program facilitates a smooth transition into further study and provides the opportunity for students seeking international education aspirations, to continue their learning journey.

It is a great privilege to be awarded the Peter Cameron Sydney Oxford Scholarship. My studies would not have been possible without the generous support of the Law School and donors.
