Program Outline

The Master of Laws provides access to a range of areas to suit both domestic and international students proceeding directly from undergraduate study, as well as experienced legal practitioners wishing to specialise in areas of commercial law. This program includes a range of elective courses suited to those with a particular interest in international and comparative commercial law. Applicants must hold an undergraduate Law degree.

The Master of Commerce (Accounting) is designed to offer knowledge and skills in accounting and related fields. It enables candidates possessing undergraduate degrees in non-accounting disciplines to move into careers in accounting, auditing, taxation, financial management and business advisory services in public practice, industry or government. For those candidates with a recognised degree in accounting, advanced level courses are offered within this specialisation to provide greater depth in the study of accounting and add perspectives in knowledge management, public sector management, financial management or research.

The combined academic program of Master of Laws/Master of Commerce (Accounting) enables students to undertake an accountancy specialisation while also focussing on business, commercial regulation and international law. Graduates will be well placed to function in international and domestic business and commercial regulatory environments.

Student Profile

"Quality education, a beautiful campus, comfortable and convenient accommodation."

Taylor Ryan

I considered other universities in Australia and Europe, and decided on the University of Adelaide because it offered the full package – a quality education, a beautiful campus, comfortable and convenient accommodation, and a great range of support services and activities.

I was looking for a one-year postgraduate teaching qualification, and Adelaide had that, plus it’s a well-respected Group of Eight university with a reputation for being one of the best. The program is comprehensive, striking the right balance between theory and practical experience, and I’ve found the lecturers to be really helpful and accommodating.
