Note: No longer open for enrolments. A new program is available from Semester 1 2024 - Professional Certificate in Defence Contracting Law.

Hone specialised legal skills

The legal environments around military and policing operations—in Australia and overseas—are extremely complex. The field is fraught with extraordinary practical realities and challenges.

Our Professional Certificate in Operational Commercial Law is designed for legal professionals already working in the area who want to advance their knowledge and standing.

What will you do?

This 6-month degree incorporates online, face-to-face and intensive seminar classes. You will:

  • examine 'best-practice' principles in military operations
  • analyse how laws intersect with relevant government policies
  • explore ethical and intercultural considerations
  • undertake a research dissertation on an area of operational commercial law.

Where could it take you?

You might be a military lawyer. You could advise on government policy. Perhaps you'll pursue a career working with the Australian Federal Police.
