The Victoria Law School (VLS) provides education in all aspects of the law. Our courses were designed in consultation with legal professionals, and provide solid foundations for a successful law career.

We operate across multiple campuses including Queen Street in the heart of Melbourne’s legal district, and Footscray Park.

Our courses provide you with practical legal skills for future employment, as well as other career pathways that could range from working for Government or Treasury departments, community legal centres or private enterprise.

• Centre for Strategic Economic Studies (CSES)

Higher degrees by research

Research degrees can be obtained by undertaking a Master by Research, PhD or Professional Doctorate.
