Teaching excellence

In an era of rapid change, the study and practice of law are constantly evolving to meet new challenges. The faculty prides itself on being able to meet these challenges, ensuring graduates are accomplished professionals with transferable knowledge and skills.

The faculty’s expert teaching staff contribute a mix of specialist knowledge and international experience. Nine current staff members have won the Monash Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Distinguished Teaching, more than any other faculty in the university. The faculty also draws on the expertise of industry professionals and international guest lecturers to ensure its programs remain relevant in a changing global climate.

In addition to the traditional Bachelor of Laws, Monash Law School significantly improves career options by offering a variety of double degrees with the faculties of Arts, Business and Economics, Engineering, Science, and Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences.

The Faculty's postgraduate program reflects the professional needs of both law and non-law graduates. Courses are offered across an array of legal specialisations and range from research doctorates and masters degrees to single-unit enrolments. Classes are scheduled at convenient times in the city-based Monash University Law Chambers, located in the heart of Melbourne’s legal district. The teaching and research efforts of the faculty are reinforced by the Monash University Law Library, one of the largest in Australia and a gateway to legal information across the world.
