Law
Canberra and Melbourne
The Environmental Law program
produces graduates with the
legal understanding necessary
to enable a critical analysis
and application of environmental
law and policy. It is designed
to meet the professional development
needs of decision makers and
policy makers in business and
government. These participants
include: policy makers, NGOs,
consultants, researchers and
academics, corporate lawyers,
barristers, local authorities
and practitioners.
There are two coursework programs
in Environmental Law and Policy:
one for students who have a
law degree and one for graduates
of disciplines other than law.

"The
program is very well run and the subject content
and
level of specialisation in environmental law
is clearly unmatched anywhere
else in Australia",
