You might want to look at Masters for non-law graduates. For example, at UQ there are 'Applied Law' degrees for applicants with a degree in other fields and ANU has something like a 'Master of Legal Studies'. This arrangement is also in place for most other universities like Monash, Sydney, UNSW and Melbourne University. My impression is that most (if not all) restrict entry into LLM programs for law graduates. Students enrolled in the 'non-law' version usually attend the same classes as students enrolled in the Master of Laws though! In relation to Banking, Mnonash University had one Banking specialisation but I do not think it is being offered anymore. Might want to look at University of Melbourne as they are a leading law school but entry requirements are usually more stringent and the cost is usually higher! Do double-check and do the resesarch - it would be worthwhile! Cheers, G I
