Graduate Diploma in International Law 323
- Director of Studies: Professor Gerry Simpson
Overview
The Melbourne Law Masters offers an extensive range of subjects in international law. Students can study in fields including international humanitarian law, economics, finance, tax, law and development or international arbitration. International legal practitioners, as well as those working in international agencies or non-governmental organisations, will benefit greatly 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 broader qualification in international law.
Objectives and Skills
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.
Requirements
Students must complete four subjects from the prescribed list.
Principles of International Law is compulsory for most students and, if possible, should be completed before other subjects. Students who do not have a law degree from a common law jurisdiction or any prior legal studies or experience are also expected to complete the two-day preliminary subject Australian Legal Process and Legal Institutions.
