Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course, offered in conjunction with the universities of Zurich and Queensland explores selected topics relating to transnational crime. In 2018–19, the focus is on trafficking in fauna and flora: the illegal trade in wildlife, animal parts, and plants. Students undertake directed research on a designated topic and obtain additional training in academic research, presentation, text analysis, and writing. Part 1 (WS 2018) involves the research period and the oral presentation; part 2 (SS 2019) involves the writing period.
Assessment and permitted materials
Each student must submit an individual, written report of his/her research topic (fully footnoted and referenced according to the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (University of Melbourne, 4th edition). All papers must have an introduction, conclusion and a bibliography. 50,000 characters (minimum requirement for U:Vie Diploma students)]. The assessment is, however, based on quality, not quantity.
