Course Overview:

The Melbourne Law Masters offers an extensive range of subjects in international law. You can tailor your degree to suit your career goals and intellectual interests, focusing on issues including international humanitarian law, economics, finance and taxation, law and development or courts and dispute resolution. International legal practitioners, as well as those working in international agencies or non-governmental organisations, will greatly benefit from the specialised knowledge and expertise that this program provides. The program’s diversity, with specific or general subjects available in both public and private international law, allows students to specialise in a key area or gain a broad-based degree in international law.

Objectives:

The Graduate Diploma in International Law focuses on:

  • The nature, major principles, processes and structures of the international legal system and the relationship between international and domestic law
  • Legal issues in contemporary public and international affairs and advanced legal analysis of the application of legal principles to such circumstances
  • The increasing significance of international law domestically, regionally and globally.
Subject Options:
