About
Statelessness. Corporate responsibility. Inequality. Religious conflicts. Climate change. The law plays an integral role in managing how each of these issues – and countless more across the globe – are analysed, evaluated and resolved. The hallmark of this degree is its recognition of the way legal frameworks underpin such global issues.
The Master of Laws will simultaneously extend your legal research, and your practical legal skills and knowledge to an advanced level. It offers you the flexibility to focus on a particular area of law, such as environmental law, international law, human rights law or business law, or to choose a broader program of study covering a variety of legal areas. You’ll gain the skills to think critically and respond flexibly by applying your research and practical skills to the wide range of potential issues you may confront in your career.
