Magister Juris

The Faculty of Law at the University of Waikato places a strong emphasis on the development of research skills. The classes are small and are typically offered in seminar style discussions. This approach to teaching at an advanced level creates opportunities for you to share perspectives and discuss issues related to the topic. It'll help you to improve your communication skills and gain expert knowledge. It creates opportunities for you to network with others and renew motivation and confidence. You'll also get a lot of one-on-one time with the lecturing or supervising academic staff.

We offer a large selection of papers in the areas of Environmental Law, Health Law, International Law, Maori and Indigenous Governance, and Public Law and Policy that you to tailor your MJur programme to reflect your intellectual interests and career goals.

Wherever your interests lie, you will benefit from nationally and internationally recognised academic staff.

The MJur programme will be attractive for students who wish to pursue career paths in the civil law jurisdictions in Europe, French Polynesia, Latin America, and South-East Asia.
