Master of Laws

The Masters degrees are designed to achieve two ends. As stand-alone degrees they provide the opportunity for well qualified graduates to deepen their knowledge of their discipline area in the process of exploring a substantial research question. The Masters degrees also serve as entry into the PhD program. At that higher level, students will not just be required to demonstrate mastery of their subject matter but also make an original contribution to knowledge. It is possible for students admitted to a Masters degree to transfer directly into the PhD program if they demonstrate the appropriate skills.

Admission requirements

An Honours degree or an equivalent qualification is required.
