Postgraduate Certificate in Chinese Law
Murdoch University, in partnership with City University of Hong Kong, offers a unique and prestigious Graduate Certificate in Chinese Law that teaches highly sought after true “China knowledge”.
The program commenced in 2008 and has trained well over 100 participants, including professionals working in leading law firms and resource companies as well as young, energetic graduates.
Murdoch Chinese Law Program Completed its 6th Session in China 2013
The Program, Graduate Certificate in Chinese Law, is part of Murdoch Law School’s global initiatives and is open to professionals and recent graduates from all disciplines.
Based in WA, the centre of Australia’s resource economy and attracting strong Chinese interest and investment, the Program is highly sought-after among leading business and legal communities that are eager to understand China.
China, Australia’s largest trading partner and predicted to be the world’s next economic leader, consumes almost half of Australia’s annual resource exports. Western Australia is uniquely positioned as the nation’s largest resource producer. In the past 18 months alone, Chinese investment has pumped over USD40 billion into the Australian economy, which, as the Washington Post reported on 14th February 2010, has insulated Australia from the global financial crisis.

Is this Program welcomed by law firms and companies? .
Absolutely! Feedback shows that almost all participants who were interviewed by major law firms or companies following their graduation were asked overwhelmingly about their experience in China. This is not surprising because China has a significant focus in many leading Australian companies and law firms.
In late 2008, the program was featured in the Australian Financial Review, the leading business newspaper in Australia.
Is China well understood?
No. China is one of the most hotly discussed topics among Australian companies and law firms. But unfortunately, misunderstanding and fragmented “impressions” of China persist in the collective imagination in the world as well as in China. The nation also remains largely incapable of encouraging the world to understand it better.
What are the real driving forces of China’s development, and in which direction is China’s economic and legal reform heading? These are only two of many questions that any Western politician, businessman and lawyer with an interest in the Chinese economy should explore – the answers lie only in gaining the true “China knowledge” that is scant.
