International partnerships

Building global partnership opportunities

We partner with law schools from around the globe to build research collaboration, for co-teaching, offshore programs, dual degree pathways, student and staff mobility opportunities.

Overseas Dual Degree Partners

The Sydney Law School has partnered with prestigious international law schools to provide inbound and outbound dual degree pathway agreements that allow Sydney and international students to fast track their legal studies and gain a postgraduate qualification.

Outbound dual degree pathways allow Sydney students to undertake study in an overseas postgraduate qualification in place of their final elective semester in the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) or Juris Doctor (JD).

Inbound dual degree pathways allow international students to fast track their law studies into a Sydney Juris Doctor (JD) or Master of Laws (LLM).

Experiential Learning - Offshore Study

Sydney Law School offers a program of elective units of study conducted offshore. All units have a comparative aspect with the aim that students develop knowledge in both Australian law and the relevant law of the host country, in relation to a particular topic. The units are taught on an intensive basis – usually over four or five successive days – and include assessment components to be completed upon return to Sydney.

Overseas Exchange

Overseas exchange is an exciting opportunity open to students who wish to undertake a full semester of study at one of our partner universities throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Not only will you be embarking upon an enriching experience designed to broaden your academic horizons and immerse you in a different culture and lifestyle, your overseas units will also be credited towards your degree at the University of Sydney when you return.

Every year, students across the university undertake overseas exchange and find that adding an international dimension to their degree has challenged them academically, facilitated the development of new skills and enhanced their personal growth and self-confidence.

A semester abroad is the perfect accompaniment to the strong global focus of the Sydney LLB and JD. Whether a student aims to work internationally or locally, every field of law is increasingly engaging with cross-border issues. Students today are entering a crowded and competitive graduate market, and an exchange provides graduates with a point of differentiation; a means of standing out from the crowd.
