Master of Laws (by Research)
Bond University, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
About this program
The research pathway of Bond's Master of Laws, distinct from the coursework LLM. Instead of taught subjects, candidates undertake a supervised research project in law ending in a thesis, typically over two years full-time, with a confirmation panel and progress reviews along the way. Topics span areas such as commercial law, international law, dispute resolution and legal theory, matched to a supervisor's expertise. It sits within Bond's Higher Degree by Research community and can serve as a step toward a PhD or SJD. It suits lawyers and law graduates who want to research a specific legal question in depth and produce original scholarship, rather than broaden their knowledge through coursework.
