Master of Applied Law (Wills & Estates)
This masters of law course, unlike an LLM, focuses on the practical delivery of legal services in the area of wills and estates practice.

The program is designed for national coverage of the law and practice in this specific area. All subjectsi include NSW specific content, and the first three core subjects are developed to incorporate the law and practice as it stands in Queensland, with the remainder of subjects to be developed in 2013, along with Victorian specific content.
To graduate with the Master of Applied Law (Wills & Estates) you must complete a total of seven subjects. You can choose to exit the degree at an earlier stage and be awarded a Graduate Diploma of Applied Law (Wills & Estates) or a Graduate Certificate in Applied Law (Wills & Estates).
