IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to COVID-19, we are unable to offer face to face Intensives on campus during the May semester of 2020. We regard face to face learning as a critical pedagogical component of the Master of Laws in Enterprise Governance, particularly in the first semester of the Program when non-law graduates are introduced to postgraduate law subjects for the first time.
We have taken the decision to postpone the commencement of the Program to the September Semester 2020. We recommend prospective students continue with their application process as if they were commencing in May; with a maximum of 15 students in the cohort. It is important to secure your place.
NB: the first Intensive for the commencing cohort is now 11 - 12 September 2020.
The Master of Laws in Enterprise Governance is available to both law and non-law graduates. The program is designed for current directors and officers as well as those seeking board positions. Participants enrolled in the program learn about the legal nature and operation of enterprise governance and the role of the board in a variety of enterprise contexts including for-profit, government, and not-for-profit enterprises. Learn from experienced practitioners how to govern an enterprise in compliance with the relevant legal rules and ethical principles and to use governance as a framework for organisational excellence.
All subjects in the program are delivered using a combination of online modules and two-day intensive workshops and all assessment tasks are constructively aligned and authentic.
