Despite relatively recent beginnings, the Postgraduate Program has grown dramatically, with over 1,000 postgraduate students enrolled in 2003.

Apart from the standard range of postgraduate courses, such as the Master of Laws by thesis, the SJD and the PhD, the Faculty offers specialised courses in the areas of Dispute Resolution, Taxation Law, Information Technology Law, International Trade Law and Industrial Property.

As we enter our second decade we have good reason to be optimistic about the future of the Faculty in general and the Postgraduate Program in particular. Our success of course also brings important challenges. If our past record is any indication, we can safely predict that our spirit of innovation, philosophy of legal education and commitment to flexible delivery will continue to attract graduates in search of professional development. The challenge is to pursue our tradition of excellence to meet the expectations of our increasing numbers to provide the best environment for the finest intellectual pursuits and cultural enrichment. The good news is that we stand ready to meet the challenge.
