Why study the Master of Applied Law?
The Graduate Certificate in Applied Law (GCAppLaw), Graduate Diploma in Applied Law (GDipAppLaw) and Master of Applied Law (MAppLaw) programs are designed for non-law graduates who would find some legal background useful in their careers, or who have a special interest in law, but who do not seek admission to legal practice. The GDipAppLaw and MAppLaw programs offer a general introduction to basic legal concepts and then enable students to take courses from a range of elective courses generally available to postgraduate law students. Elective courses offered reflect the research strengths of the School, namely Chinese/Australian comparative law; intellectual property law; international trade law; and litigation and dispute resolution. Students may opt to specialise in one or more of these areas. The GCAppLaw offers a general introduction to basic legal concepts and additionally allows students to choose two elective courses within areas of interest from postgraduate law courses.
