Candidate Information

Candidates for the LLM by Coursework or Graduate Diploma in Law may undertake study incorporating a major sequence in this area of specialisation.
Candidates for the Master of Law and Management, the Master of Legal Studies and the Graduate Diploma in Legal Studies may, where appropriate, select courses from within this specialisation but cannot incorporate a major sequence into their program.
From time to time the allocation of courses to major sequences may be altered.
The Associate Dean (Postgraduate) may, when considering it appropriate, authorise the inclusion of a Special Elective within, or the deletion of a Special Elective from among, the courses allocated to a major sequence.
The Associate Dean (Postgraduate) may, when considering it appropriate, approve as part of an individual student’s major sequence a course or courses taken by that student on a cross-institutional basis.
Where a special case is made, or where an individual student’s assessment program for the course concerned is tailored specifically to issues relevant to a major sequence, the Associate Dean (Postgraduate) may approve a course not otherwise allocated to a major sequence as part of that student’s major sequence.
The Research Thesis courses LAWS4422 and LAWS4423 may be counted towards the units of credit required for a major sequence where, in the opinion of the Associate Dean (Postgraduate), the subject matter of the thesis topic concerned is substantially related to the specialist area of the major sequence.
