Master of Laws - International Governance
Western Sydney University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00917K
Governance is a key area for lawyers in large and small firms, as well as for many public companies, government departments, large charities and the non-government entities (NGOs). Internationally there is a strong need for technical knowledge and understanding of legal governance by Chinese lawyers, Indian/Bangladeshi lawyers and Vietnamese lawyers, (additional to the English speaking common law jurisdictions of New Zealand, Canada/USA, Malaysia/Singapore and UK), who are not used to working in a common law legal system versus their own civil code or mixed system. This course enables lawyers to enhance their knowledge and skills on both private and public law issues of corporate governance, with a strong theoretical core and a series of alternate governance units to provide specialist information and skills.
