WHAT IS THE

MASTER OF LAWS

(APPLIED LAW)

MAJORING IN NEW

ZEALAND PRACTICE?

This new programme has been designed
with a dual purpose:

1. to equip you to meet the requirements of
the New Zealand Council of Legal Education
for the admission of foreign lawyers in New
Zealand, and

2. to develop your practical and professional
skills in six core Common Law practice areas

This is the newest offering in The College of
Law suite of Master of Laws (Applied Law)
programmes, which entitle graduates to use
the postnominal “LLM”. Similar Master of Laws
programmes have been offered in Australia
since 2008. Their popularity has made The
College of Law one of the largest providers of
LLM programmes in Australia.

All subjects have been written by local
subject-matter experts under the guidance of
Curriculum Advisory Committees. See page 7
for details.

If you are seeking to move into a new area of
practice then this is the ideal programme
to undertake.
