Degree of Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery/Bachelor of Law (MB BS/LLB)

Monash is the only university in Australia which offers this joint degree. It is designed to be completed in seven years. The combined program is a recognition by the faculties of Medicine and Law that the burgeoning area of medical law requires a pool of graduates with an academic grounding in both professions.

An application to enter the combined degree program can only be made after acceptance into the medical course. A small interfaculty selection committee will assess the applicants and make recommendations to the deans of the faculties of Medicine and Law concerning the most suitable candidates. It is not anticipated that more than two or three students will be accepted into the combined program each year. Applicants will need to demonstrate that they have the interest and the capacity to carry them through the program. The interfaculty committee will also review the progress of the students accepted into the program.

Any enquiries should be directed to Professor Stephen Cordner (03 684 4301) or Professor Louis Waller (03 905 3302).

Regulations
