Professional Certificate in Space Law

Completed over six months part-time, or on a more flexible schedule, the program has been co-developed by the Adelaide Law School's world-renowned space law researchers. Among them are the joint lead authors of The Woomera Manual, the world's first definitive text on international law as it applies to military conflict in space.

The program will give you the opportunity to gain advanced knowledge of domestic and international law as it applies to:

• commercial activity in space, including an overview of the UN Space Treaties, and issues such as technology transfer, contracts, insurance and liability
• security operations in space, including laws relating to situational awareness, space launches, intelligence gathering and defence.

You'll also have the chance to pursue applied research in an area of space law of particular interest to you.
