THE UNIVERSITY
Inaugurated in 1851, the University of Sydney is Australia's first University. Its international reputation is based on outstanding teaching, excellence in research and active engagement as a community leader. It has 11 national campuses and it includes 16 faculties, 10 campuses and over 200 research centres and institutes. It is Australia's leading research university and continues to receive the most funding in new grants from the Australian Research Council (ARC). Owing to such excellence in research, the University of Sydney provides teaching programs that reflect cutting-edge scholarship. Its total student population is 47,000, almost 20 per cent of which are international students representing more than 80 countries. More than 15,000 students are engaged in postgraduate studies, including research by higher degree.
THE LAW SCHOOL
With a reputation built on 150 years of history, The Sydney Law School is also Australia's first, having been inaugurated in 1855. It has had a tremendous impact on the Australian judiciary, politics and business. At the postgraduate level, areas of study have been progressively strengthened to encompass an enormous range of specialisations. It was the first Law School in Australia to introduce the Doctor of Juridical Studies (SJD), a unique degree that offers advanced study in law through both coursework and dissertation. The Sydney Law School's Master of Laws (LLM) program is one of the most reputable law coursework programs in Australia. Candidates may choose from the entire range of approximately 160 units on offer in our postgraduate area each year. 70 per cent of our units are offered on an intensive basis, permitting candidates to complete classes in a matter of days. In February 2009, Sydney Law School moved to its purpose-built, state-of-the-art New Law Building, located on the University's main campus. Occupying an elevated position adjacent to Sydney’s Victoria Park, the building will provide an “open door” orientation towards the city, reinforcing its connection to the CBD’s legal precinct and wider society. The building consists of four levels and accommodates the faculty academic and professional staff, together with a range of research centres and institutes. It incorporates collaborative spaces, meeting and conference rooms. There are a total of 23 teaching spaces within the building ranging from 300 and 100 seat lecture theatres, through to 60, 56, and 24 seat seminar facilities to suit a wide range of teaching requirements. It also accommodates a Moot Court facility and a spacious Forecourt. For further information, please visit New Building Sydney Law School
THE PROGRAM
Our postgraduate coursework program has many exclusive features. It is one of the largest postgraduate programs in Australia, with both our coursework and research offerings attracting the one of the largest number of students and delivering one of the most number of units of study. In addition to our intensive units, we offer a number of units on a semester length basis, thereby creating a flexible method with which to tailor your LLM program. Lawyers have the opportunity to share classes with non-lawyers, with our specialist coursework offerings in Health Law, Environmental Law, International Law and Labour Law attracting specialists in those fields for instance. This permits a dynamic and interactive environment in which to study. When you come to Sydney you also have the opportunity to partake in limited cross-institutional study, be it at another Law School in Sydney or one interstate. This enables candidates from overseas to study exactly what they want when in Australia based on what’s available at the time. The great strength of the Sydney LLM is that it enables students to choose from the entire range of postgraduate coursework units of study offered in any given year by the Sydney Law School – an opportunity not provided in any of its other postgraduate coursework programs. Effectively, candidates may select all eight units of study in one area such as International Law or Corporate, Securities and Finance Law. Alternatively, they may like to combine fields of study by selecting units in Commercial Law alongside those in Environmental Law, for instance. While Sydney Law School offers 17 primary specialist coursework study areas, there are a number of specialised subjects that we teach that may be part of more than one area. We offer over 30 new units of study in 2011, including:
Coastal Adaptation Law
Commercial Conflict of Laws
Criminal Justice Internship
Development & Human Rights
Disability & Human Rights in Domestic & International Law
European Environmental Law
Executive Contracts & Executive Pay

There are many pathways to the LLM at Sydney including:
Complete your LLM in Sydney…
You can complete your entire LLM program in Australia's largest and most famous city. The Sydney Law School's postgraduate coursework program is one of Australia's largest with over 160 units of study taught each year. Sydney caters to approximately 17 areas of specialisation in law, with units taught by our very own experts as well as overseas visitors and leading members of the legal profession. Units are taught intensively or over an entire semester. If you're a full-time student it's possible to complete your LLM in one year by finishing eight units of study.
Complete your LLM in Europe…
The Sydney Law School in Europe program permits students to undertake classes in locations including Germany and the United Kingdom. Classes currently take place in Cambridge and London. Units are taught intensively, over four successive days. Upon completion, students must then complete the assessment. Several subjects are offered each year and each unit may count towards programs other than the LLM. You can count one, some or all of your units towards a Sydney LLM by attending classes in Europe.
Complete your LLM in Sydney & Europe… You may prefer to combine study in Europe with that in Sydney. You can decide to complete half your units in Europe and half in Sydney, for instance. Alternatively you may like to complete most in Europe or some in Sydney. The choice is yours and your unit selection will determine your location. You may even find that you wish to finish your LLM in Sydney in order to attend your graduation ceremony at the University.
Complete a single unit to count towards an LLM… You do not have to commit to entire program straight away. You may like to sample a unit of study, be it in Europe or Sydney. With a maximum time to completion of six years, you can start off with just the one unit and then you may wish to delay your study until another unit of interest is taught. So long as you complete the assessment, that unit will count towards an award course such as a Graduate Diploma or Masters.
Complete the Graduate Diploma in Law and then upgrade to the LLM… You may like to start out with a Graduate Diploma, which consists of four units of study. With approval you can then upgrade to a Masters. Many of our students commence with a Graduate Diploma in Law (GradDipLaw) and then decide to enhance their qualifications by transferring to the LLM. With only four units of study remaining to qualify, it's a decision worth considering.
"Sydney Law School has a strong tradition of excellence in legal education and is among the most renowned law schools in the world. My research has benefitted enormously from generous financial support from Sydney Law School, as I was awarded a scholarship for the duration of my candidature and several travel grants to attend international conferences.”
Stefan Gruber, Germany, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
THE FACULTY
Our level of academic staff expertise is well respected. Not only are many leaders in their fields, but we also draw on a number of leading international experts to deliver our programs. From the very beginning, the Sydney Law School has strived to match academic excellence with close professional links. As part of a bequest by John Henry Challis to the University in 1880, chairs in Law and Jurisprudence were founded, in addition to - reflecting the Faculty's ongoing commitment to placing law within a global perspective - a chair in International Law. Over the last century, these foundations have been extended. There are now 131 Chairs and over 80 full-time academic staff, as well as 70 adjunct members of the Faculty and 50 general staff. Starting with 14 students, it now has approximately 1,800 undergraduate and 1,700 postgraduate students. Our staff are not only highly experienced and receptive to the needs and interests of our students, but are also international leaders in their fields of study. Some of our academic staff that are recognised as experts both here and overseas include:
