The LLM in Comparative Law is currently being revised and
restructured and is not available for new enrolments. The
degree as currently structured is described as follows:
The Master of Laws in Comparative Law examines the laws and
legal systems of a number of countries, with a focus on Southeast
Asia. The course is conducted entirely in the external mode;
that is, students are not required to attend any lectures
or tutorials. In addition, students may elect to complete
individual subjects in which they have a particular interest
rather than enrol in the Masters program.
Students may enrol in the Master of Laws in Comparative Law
program, or individual subjects, at any time of the year Ð
enrolments are not constrained to the commencement of either
semester. Enrolment in each subject is valid for up to two
academic years. This flexibility enables students to determine
their own pace and workload. Students receive detailed subject
notes, case notes and readings written by internationally
renowned scholars, which enables the degree to be completed
without access to a law library.

wish to undertake further study in specialist areas. A candidate
is required to successfully complete 40 credit points of law
units to be awarded a Graduate Certificate in Legal Studies.
