In partnership with The University of Melbourne (ranked top law school in Australia), the 4-year programme offers students the opportunity to learn both the English and Australian legal systems and to gain two degrees: A LLB qualification in English Law and Australian Law and a Juris Doctor from Melbourne Law School. Students spend year 1 & 2 at King’s and years 3 & 4 at Melbourne. The programme provides a challenging bi-juridical education and is designed for students who seek to practice Law in England or Wales and wish to obtain an in-depth knowledge of Australian Law, or equally, those who are looking to practice in Australia and the ASPAC region.
