This is a program for graduates of a discipline other than law who wish to acquire a postgraduate law qualification. The program caters for non-lawyers in both the public and private sectors who have had relevant business experience and who need to acquire familiarity with legal issues.

The Government and Commercial Law program combines the ANU College of Law's strengths in commercial and public law. This program reflects important developments in the modern legal environment, as the public and private spheres of legal practice increasingly intersect.

Commercial law now touches most aspects of private business and public government, and public law is a field in which the ANU College of Law is nationally pre-eminent. The College's close links with government, the Parliament and its proximity to the High Court makes it an ideal place to study the intersection of commercial law and government. 

The program offers flexible delivery and learning, designed to cater for the needs of people who are unable to attend regular day or evening lectures because of work, family or travel commitments. The  "intensive" courses on offer in which the face-to-face tuition is usually compressed into 3-6 days will be attractive to both part-time and full-time students.

For more information, please visit the ANU College of Law Postgraduate website.
