Australian Law School Rankings 2011 - Melbourne Law School Ranked Top Ten in the World


The Melbourne Law School was recently ranked the ninth best law school in world, and the top Australian Law School.

This ranking comes from the QS World Rankings, which reviews the world’s universities and ranks schools across all fields of study.

Melbourne Law School comes in behind Harvard Law School and the Oxford Law School, and beat out New York University as well as Canada’s McGill University and the University of Toronto.

As the highest ranked Australian Law School, the Melbourne Law School came ahead of the University of Sydney and Australian National University.

QS says the methodology is tailored to each subject and the rankings are based on academic and employer reputation and citations per scholarly paper.

“As global mobility and the fee burden on individual students increases, rankings need to become more detailed and focused to meet the demand for comparative information,” head of research at QS Ben Sowter noted in the rankings commentary.

The University of Melbourne ranked 38 overall in the world.
