I had LLM-offers from Law Schools from Australia, the USA and the UK but I eventually decided in favour of the La Trobe LLM because: - The program offers you a distinctive amount of personal flexibility - The program provides you with an excellent understanding of the common law system (due to the unique freedom to select core law units such as “contracts” or “equity”) - It enables you to select subjects which are required for admission in Australia - It allows you to specialise in particular areas of law - It offers you a broad range of International Business Law units - The teaching staff and the quality of the units is well above the standard (that is my personal experience after 50% of the program) - Most of the lecturers are leading in their particular field and have internationally an outstanding reputation From my perspective it is on the one hand the large amount of flexibility and on the other hand the exceptional quality of the teaching staff – at a reasonable price – which makes the La Trobe LLM superior to other programs. Finally I have to mention that the staff within the Faculty of Law is really friendly and helpful, no matter what the problem is.
