Undergraduate courses and subjects 2000 - Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Laws (BE/ LLB)

Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Laws (BE/ LLB)

The Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Law offer a double-degree course which qualifies students for the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Laws. The course is available through the departments of Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, Materials Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. It is intended to bridge the gap between technological and legal studies and to meet the need to have engineers who are knowledgeable in the legal, corporate and political arenas.
The BE/LLB double-degree program commences at level 1 and is of not less than six years' duration if taken full-time. Entry to the course is through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC). Applications to transfer to the double-degree program from engineering students who have completed two (or more) semesters of study are considered on an individual basis. Students seeking admission by transfer should note that, since a very high standard is required for admission through VTAC, a very high standard of performance in first-year studies will be required of them also.
The course structure is set out in the subject lists following this section.
