"The decision to complete an MBA and JD at Melbourne Business School and Melbourne Law School was an easy one – both schools are clear leaders in their respective fields and are recognised as such within the Australian business and legal community.
The teaching and administrative staff, both within the Business School and Law School, offer fantastic support and are committed to providing an exceptional learning experience.
The practical teaching methods, used within the MBA via the Harvard case-study method and within the JD via practical problems and moot court exercises, were helpful in gaining a greater understanding of the theory.
The MBA and JD complement each other extremely well and have, I believe, given me a greater choice of career options for the future.
Law firms are constantly seeking candidates with a quality law degree combined with commercial knowledge and/or experience. Similarly, legal knowledge is considered an advantage within the business sector. The JD/MBA degree combination from Melbourne University gave me excellent legal and commercial knowledge, both theoretical and practical, which provided me with the best opportunity of securing a position in a large commercial law firm."
