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.
  • From time to time the allocation of courses to major sequences may be altered.
  • The Coordinator of Postgraduate Education 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 Coordinator of Postgraduate Education 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 Coordinator of Postgraduate Education may approve a course not otherwise allocated to a major sequence as part of that student’s major sequence.
