hey if you were interested in international law, what uni course would you do?

ive looked at the law courses for all the unis and they only teach you australian law.

any suggestions ppl??

thx

..Maybe doing Law/International Studies at UTS. You'd obviously do Australian law, it's australia after all, but you'd incorporate international affairs in it..

ANU would prolly have more of an international focus; maybe look at that

sorry, don't know much about law..

No-one's going to teach you just international law - you need the basic legal skills as well. International electives are available in all the major law programs I think, definitely at USyd and UNSW.

'international law' isn't a legal system, every country would teach its own legal system...Like Kini said, you need to understand the basics of law and the principles of it - torts, criminal, contract etc before you can start thinking on an even grander scale.

yeh it's an elective u can choose...at unsw anyway..
but there's lots of international law stuff u can choose from
like...international trade law, humanitarian law, etc etc
just check at the law websites for each uni..
ie law.unsw.edu.au

I think unsw has the asia pacific law centre, but usyd has the greatest focus/most electives/specialisation in international law...or so they say

Just keep convincing urself that

*desperately searches for measuring tape and submits uac form to change courses...*

I think we have the most electives in international law or something like that. I remember them trying to sell it to me that way on one of the open days...?

I'm very cynical about electives since reading the student elective guide . I reckon the best way to do international electives is to go overseas for one of two semesters (my current plan ).

 

[timmii]

Hehe, i'm cynical about student guides in general! Thankfully i have yet to be deceived on subject content. Commerce courses are as unexciting as they promised them to be!

Oh dear...where's the enthusiasm gone?

finally checked out the ANU site

it looks pretty mad, its got the centre for international law, which is pretty much the best thing to do

but....damn...had to be in canberra *sigh
