Admission to the Master of Laws requires a degree in law which may be a bachelor's degree, an LL.B., a juris doctor or some other law degree from an accredited or similarly recognized institution. The Master of Laws (General) does not have a minimum GPA requirement, but academic performance is a significant consideration in the admissions decision. If the law degree was obtained at an institution where the language of instruction is not English, the applicant must also demonstrate English competency through either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examinations and in an admissions interview.
International students whose first language is not English or whose law instruction was not in English also must provide an official TOEFL or IELTS score. Students should have a minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper exam) or 80 (internet exam), or a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 with an individual score below 5.5.
