Overview

Master of Legal Studies

This course at UTS gives non-law graduates an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks of the fields in which they work.

Students come from various professional backgrounds, such as insurance, human resources, banking, finance and education, and work in roles where knowledge of the legal landscape is critical to their work. 

Course content includes criminal, ethics, contract, tort and constitutional law. 

Students can also use their elective choices to build specialist legal expertise in compliance and intellectual property law.

The Master of Legal Studies is not a professional legal qualification. 

Students seeking admission to practice as lawyers should consider the Juris Doctor or the Bachelor of Laws. 

Some subjects in the Master of Legal Studies may be credited towards these degrees.
