Our programs are taught by highly respected academic staff, many of whom are leaders in their respective fields, and by well-known visiting teaching staff from all over the world. 

Our postgraduate law degrees are ideal for those from both legal and non-legal backgrounds. The Master of Laws (LLM) offers law graduates the opportunity to gain an internationally recognised postgraduate legal qualification. Our nine specialist master’s programs offer law graduates the opportunity to acquire advanced legal knowledge in a particular field. And for non-law graduates these programs provide an avenue to gain legal literacy and competency in a specialist area.

You can choose from the entire range of postgraduate coursework units of study offered in any given year by Sydney Law School, giving you the opportunity to tailor the program to suit your needs. 

You may wish to select all eight units of study of the degree in one specialist area such as international law or corporate, securities and finance law. Alternatively, you may like to combine fields of study by selecting units in business law alongside those in environmental law.
