The
structure of the LLB course varies for students according to whether they
are:
1 a school leaver;
2 a transferee who has completed one full-time year in another
faculty, or a graduate who has already qualified for an undergraduate degree or
completed equivalent tertiary studies before enrolment for the LLB.
The relevant structures are as follows.
As
an alternative to taking the LLB course, students may combine with the degree
of Bachelor of Laws the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Asian Studies), Bachelor of
Arts (Australian Studies), Bachelor of Arts (European Studies), Bachelor of
Arts (Social Sciences), Bachelor of Performing Arts, Bachelor of Music,
Bachelor of Business (Management), Bachelor of Business (Banking and Finance),
Bachelor of Business Systems, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Economics,
Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor
of Surgery. Any student wishing to take such a combined course must obtain a
quota place in both faculties.
In order to complete both degrees within the minimum period, it is necessary to
follow particular sequences of non-law and law subjects (see resolution 1 of
the faculty board). Students who wish to combine an honours degree in another
faculty with a law degree, will be unable to do so in fewer than six years.
The faculty has recently conducted a review of its curriculum including the
structure of law studies taken as part of a combined degree. The faculty board
has approved a recommendation from the Curriculum Review Committee that during
the first three years of a combined course the desired sequence of subjects is:
Year 1 |
Year 2 |
Year 3 | |
School leavers |
Legal process; Criminal law |
Torts |
Contract; Property |
Internal transfer - after one year of study |
Legal process; Criminal law |
Contract; Property |
The transitional arrangements to give effect to the above sequence have been
negotiated with other faculties. Students enrolling in a combined course should
consult course advisers.
A
student may qualify for an honours degree at the conclusion of his or her LLB
studies. A student will qualify for an honours degree, class I, IIA, IIB or
III, where his or her weighted average based on all law subjects attempted at
Monash reaches a minimum numerical grade determined by the honours
committee.
Any student may seek enrolment in the thesis subject LAW5207 at the end of his
or her penultimate year of LLB studies. However, a quota will be applied to
this subject and students will be admitted on the basis of their weighted
average based on all law subjects attempted at Monash to the end of their
penultimate year of LLB studies.
Students wishing to apply for LAW5207 should do so by the first week of
November of their penultimate year. Students who have not applied by this time
but who, as a result of their penultimate year of study, wish to do so, should
apply within a week of the publication of their results in their penultimate
year.
