Juris Doctor Master of Business Administration (CRICOS 074765J) - University of Technology Sydney (UTS)

What you'll study

The field of education for this course is Society and Culture, specifically Law (090900). As a Masters Degree (Coursework) at AQF Level 9, students typically engage in advanced study that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application. Graduates are expected to demonstrate high-level analytical, critical, and professional skills relevant to both legal and business contexts. While specific syllabus details are set by the provider, typical learning outcomes include understanding legal frameworks, corporate governance, strategic management, and ethical decision-making. This integrated program allows students to develop competencies in areas such as contract law, torts, constitutional law, corporate finance, marketing, and organisational behaviour. The combination of Juris Doctor and MBA curricula fosters a holistic perspective essential for complex professional environments. Students also cultivate research skills through coursework and may undertake projects that bridge law and business. As with all CRICOS-registered courses, the curriculum is designed to meet Australian quality standards and international student expectations.

Duration and study mode

According to the CRICOS register, the Juris Doctor Master of Business Administration has a duration of 4 years (208 weeks). The course is delivered in English, with no dual qualification or foundation studies component. This is a single qualification program, meaning graduates receive one award that encompasses both the Juris Doctor and the Master of Business Administration. The full-time study mode is standard for international students on a Student visa (Subclass 500). UTS may offer flexible delivery options, including on-campus classes at the City Campus. International students should note that maintaining satisfactory course progress is a visa condition. The duration reflects the comprehensive nature of the combined degree, allowing students to immerse themselves in both disciplines over an extended period. For part-time options, if available, consult UTS directly as visa conditions typically require full-time enrolment.

Fees (indicative)

The indicative tuition fee for this course is A$208,960, with non-tuition fees listed as A$0 on the CRICOS register, giving a total estimated cost of A$208,960. Please note that these fees are sourced from the official CRICOS register as at April 2026 and are subject to change. The actual fees are set by University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and may vary each year. This amount does not include Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), living expenses, or the student visa application charge.

International students should budget for living costs in Sydney, which are among the highest in Australia. Indicative weekly expenses include rent (A$350–600), groceries (A$80–150), and public transport (A$40–70). HeadStart Academy recommends planning a comprehensive budget well in advance.

Entry requirements (general guidance)

International applicants typically need to demonstrate English language proficiency, with an IELTS overall score of 6.5–7.0 (or equivalent). Prior academic qualifications equivalent to an Australian bachelor's degree are generally required for entry into a Masters Degree (Coursework). Given this is a combined Juris Doctor and MBA, some background in law or business may be advantageous but not mandatory. Specific prerequisites, such as prior study in certain disciplines or professional experience, are set by UTS. Applicants should also check for any additional requirements like a personal statement, interview, or portfolio. Foundation or pathway programs are not listed for this specific course, but UTS may offer alternative entry pathways such as the UTS Insearch diploma programs. Always confirm entry requirements directly with UTS and consult the CRICOS registration for the most accurate information. Remember that meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.

Work component

This course does not include a mandatory work component. The CRICOS register indicates 'No work component' for this program. However, international students on a Student visa (Subclass 500) are permitted to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during term and unlimited hours during scheduled breaks, subject to visa conditions. While not required, students may choose to undertake internships, clinical placements, or part-time work related to law or business to enhance their experience. UTS may offer optional career development programs or industry engagement opportunities outside the formal curriculum. Always check visa work restrictions and ensure that work does not interfere with course requirements.

Delivery locations

The city offers diverse cultural experiences, world-class amenities, and strong employment prospects. Living costs in Sydney are relatively high, with indicative rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city centre around A$500–700 per week. The presence of numerous CRICOS-registered providers (over 200 in NSW) makes Sydney a vibrant study destination. Students at UTS benefit from its central location, access to legal and business networks, and proximity to major law firms and corporations.
