Master of Combined Studies in International Trade and Commerce Law / Criminology

The Master of Combined Studies in International Trade and Commerce Law and Criminology at Macquarie University offers a comprehensive exploration of two interconnected fields. This two-year master's programme is designed for students looking to develop advanced knowledge and skills in both international trade and commerce law, as well as criminology. Through a series of structured units of study, learners will engage with legal principles, trade regulations, and the complexities of criminal behaviour, preparing them for a versatile career path.

The course employs a combination of coursework and practical experience, structured over four semesters. Each semester consists of various units, where students will earn credit points that contribute towards their degree. A key feature of the programme is the capstone project, which provides students with an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios, often in collaboration with industry partners. This hands-on approach ensures that graduates are work-ready and equipped with practical law and criminology skills.

Students will also benefit from work-integrated learning opportunities, allowing them to undertake professional placements within relevant sectors. This integration of practical experience with academic study not only enhances employability but also provides a deeper understanding of the legal and criminological contexts in Australia. This course is well-suited for individuals who possess a keen interest in law and criminology and seek to make a significant impact in these vital areas.
