The Master of Law, Governance and Development is a new program designed for graduates with no previous legal background. The program considers the role of law in a development context. It includes international and national legal perspectives on issues of governance and development. 

The program has a focus on the Asia-Pacific region. Its courses cover the South Pacific, Southeast Asia and East Asia. It includes highly topical issues such as climate change and displacement, law, order and State-building, transnational business and anti-corruption. It will be of interest to graduates working in all aspects of law, governance and development both in the Asia-Pacific, and in a context of international institutions. 

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. Its "intensive" courses 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.
