1999 Business and Economics Handbook - Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws

Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws - BCom/LLB

Course code: 0546
The following should be read in conjunction with the statement on the Bachelor of Commerce and the Bachelor of Laws in the Law handbook.
The course structure is shown in chart 11 in the section 'Charts of degree structures'.
Students may complete the double degree of Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Laws after a minimum of five years full-time study, or six years for the degree with honours, or the equivalent part-time study. The Bachelor of Commerce degree can be gained after three years study if students complete the requirements of the degree and include in their program the following law subjects: LAW1100 (Legal process), LAW3300 (Criminal law), LAW2100 (Contract), and one third-year subject, usually LAW3400 (Property). The inclusion of these subjects, each valued at twelve credit points, will mean that students will need to complete subjects from the Faculty of Business and Economics (Clayton) to the value of ninety-six credit points, instead of the 144 normally required to obtain the commerce degree. Students would then follow for the next two years a program comprising the compulsory subjects LAW3200 (Constitutional law), LAW3100 (Administrative law) and LAW5500 (Moot court), and optional law subjects which total 180 value units. (Students should refer to the Faculty of Law handbook for details of these subjects.)
For those wishing to undertake a management studies specialisation, one first-year compulsory commerce subject sequence must be transferred to the second year of the course in order that MGC1020 and MGC1030 can be undertaken in the first year.
Students wishing to enrol in this double degree should, before enrolment, collect an information sheet on the possible course structure options from either faculty office.
