Why did you choose the Melbourne Law School?
Melbourne Law School is famous as one of the most progressive law schools in Australia, offering a wide range of subjects in areas that interest me such as human rights, trade and the environment.
Describe your experience of studying in the Melbourne Law Masters. What are the highlights?
Studying at Melbourne Law School has given me lots of ideas for the development of a comprehensive solution for the current environmental problems in Indonesia as well as at an international level.
I took several subjects covering a wide range of issues such as human rights, trade and development. This has given me a clear understanding of how these issues interrelate which is very relevant to the situation in Indonesia, where the challenge is to increase development while protecting the environment as well as human rights.
Now that you have finished your degree, what do you plan to do?
I would like to enhance my career at an international level by joining an international NGO with a focus on environmental law. Studying with Melbourne Law School, with its wide range of international subjects, has developed my way of thinking so that I will better meet the demands of working as such an organisation.

The Melbourne Law Masters is a great place for international students who would like to develop their knowledge and skills in contemporary international legal issues.
