The TC Beirne School of Law offers the Master of Laws (LLM) and Master of Laws (Advanced) (LLM (Adv)) programs to graduates of law.
These programs are designed to enhance the theoretical and practical expertise of students and provide them with a professional edge. Students will improve their independent and critical thinking and research skills.
The courses offered as part of the LLM are predominantly driven by the needs of contemporary legal practice. They include courses in highly specialized areas as well as more general areas where the principles underpinning that area are highly complex and require a depth of understanding. Students may select courses from a wide range of subject areas or choose to focus their study in a specialist area such as International Trade; Intellectual Property Law or Litigation and Dispute Resolution.
The School welcomes several leading academic and professional visitors every year. These visitors have been selected for their expertise and/or established research profiles. Students are encouraged to take advantage of their presence in the School by enrolling in the courses they teach.
The majority of courses are taught intensively, either in blocks of four days or in two blocks of two days to allow students to accommodate study and the demands of professional or other commitments. Many courses have a strong international emphasis and some may be offered on a semester-long basis providing an opportunity for international students to experience the rich and culturally diverse campus life. Classes are held at the St Lucia campus or at Brisbane city venues.
Postgraduate law students from other Universities can study at the TC Beirne School of Law for credit towards their degrees at their home institutions. Click here for further information.
