Course Delivery
Students undertaking the LL.M will attend lectures in each of the subjects for two hours per week between 5.30pm and 8pm. Students are expected to prepare for lectures through reading and analysis of distributed material, readings from the indicative reading list, case material and their own research. This process will develop your knowledge and skills in critical analysis. This preparation will allow an exchange of ideas to develop during seminars in order to delve deeper into the topic and aid the student's broader understanding.LLM in International Commercial Law 7 Subjects and dissertation. 4 Mandatory Commercial Law Subjects and 3 Electives Mandatory Public International Law International Trade Law Introduction to International Legal Systems Research Methods Electives*

Comments on the value of the course: Very worthwhile, an accomplishment to have for the future and a wide variety of options open to me after completion.
Job Prospects: I can't quite answer this yet but in the coming weeks I am hoping to get a strong indication from potential Australian employers in regards to this.
Where are you now: I am a Regional Development Executive for the ECDL Foundation. I finish on August 31st and begin the journey to Canberra with my three children.
What advice would you give to others considering this course: It’s a short project over the course of two semesters and in Winter what better way to ignore the winter and arrive in June with an LLM. and a brighter future whatever the weather.Other comments:
There are many social and academic opportunities outside of the LLM. such as debating that you can get involved in. If you're busy it’s also possible to just focus on the course and meet some interesting new friends.
The Law faculty are excellent and the lecturers understand the wide diversity of people that enter the course so there is plenty of flexibility. Some three years on I still meet with friends whom have gone to the Inns.
The LLM. has helped me to secure a hopefully prosperous future in Australia and dispelled any doubts I had about my future.
