The Master of Environmental Law is designed for graduates with no previous legal background who wish to gain a postgraduate law qualification.

Since its inception a decade ago, the program has attracted hundreds of students from around Australia and internationally with very different backgrounds, undergraduate degrees and work experience. While many are just beginning their careers, many are well established in them.

This comprehensive program in environmental law includes an array of specialist courses covering key areas ranging from biodiversity to water, environmental planning and landuse to effective business regulation and enforcement. The program’s aim is not only to provide students with a sophisticated understanding of the law but also to explore its origins and implementation, strengths and weaknesses. The program has interrelationships between environmental law and policy, science, economics and culture.

A key feature of the Program is that it offers flexible delivery and learning, making it an excellent option for people who are unable to attend regular day or evening lectures because of work, family or travel commitments. The program is designed to cater for the needs of both part-time and full-time students. Its "intensive" courses in which the face-to-face tuition is usually compressed into three days have proved highly attractive.
