Master of Laws
Bond University, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
About this program
An eight-month coursework LLM (two semesters, 80 credit points) for law graduates only. Students can take electives broadly or concentrate in one of six areas: corporate and commercial law, dispute resolution, international business and finance law, international commercial law and dispute resolution, family dispute resolution, or Canadian law and practice. There is no research thesis in the standard structure; it is a coursework degree.
Bond Juris Doctor graduates receive a 40 credit point exemption, halving the program. It suits practising or recently graduated lawyers who want a specialist credential quickly rather than a broad or research-based postgraduate qualification.

Occupations this degree typically leads to, and their skilled-migration list status
SolicitorANZSCO 271311
On both MLTSSL and CSOL, but a positive skills assessment is not the same as being able to practise. You must first be admitted to an Australian state legal profession, which for an overseas or JD graduate means passing the assessed academic subjects, completing Practical Legal Training, and being admitted by the state Supreme Court, before the occupation is realistically usable for a visa.

BarristerANZSCO 271111
On both MLTSSL and CSOL, supporting the points-tested 189, 190, and 491 as well as the employer-sponsored 482 and 186. As with Solicitor, a positive skills assessment is not the same as being able to practise: you must be admitted to the bar in an Australian state or territory before the occupation is realistically usable for a visa. Assessed by the state or territory Legal Admissions Authority, not VETASSESS.
