University of Sydney (Australia)
Up to four NYU Law students (two in the fall semester, two in the spring semester) may participate in the exchange program with Sydney each academic year. With more than 100 years of teaching and research experience, the Faculty of Law at the University of Sydney is the premier law school in Australia. Students in the exchange program may choose courses from a wide array of electives. The Sydney Law Faculty places particular emphasis on international and comparative law, and maintains a strong profile in taxation, corporate and criminal law, and specializes in areas such as environmental and health law.
Sydney, a multicultural and cosmopolitan city, is a short distance to many beaches. It is bounded to the north and south by national parks, and to the west by the majestic Blue Mountains. The Law Faculty at St. James campus is located in the heart of the business and legal district, and houses one of Australia's leading law libraries.
The program at Sydney is divided into two sessions: March to June (Semester 1) and July to November (Semester 2). Students interested in participating in this program will have to adjust their summer work schedules accordingly, since both semesters at Sydney run through the summer months. Students going in the fall semester would have to miss the Early Interview Week, or plan to come back to participate.
