Course code: 0091
Students enrolled for the combined course will normally qualify for the
Bachelor of Economics degree at the end of three years, and the Bachelor of
Laws at the end of the fifth year. To do so, students must complete the
requirements of the Bachelor of Economics degree, including in it a major
sequence in law comprising LAW1100 (Legal process), LAW3300 (Criminal law),
LAW2100 (Contract), LAW2200 (Torts) and one third-year law subject, usually
LAW3400 (Property). 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. It should be noted that for the purposes of the
economics degree, each law subject previously mentioned is equivalent to two
subjects from the Faculty of Business and Economics (Clayton), that is, 12
points. The course structure is shown in chart 8 in section 'Charts of
degree structures'.
Students should note that it is possible to take a small number of subjects
from a faculty other than Business and Economics or Law.
