General information

Course code: 0086 · Clayton campus

Course structure

Science studies may be combined with studies in law either as part of the combined Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Laws degree course, or within the BSc degree alone.
For students in the latter category, entry to the legal studies sequence is restricted by a quota in the compulsory first-year subject LAW1100. The administration of this quota is a matter for the Faculty of Law. Applicants wishing to pursue the combined BSc/LLB should satisfy the prerequisites for both the BSc and LLB courses.
The Faculty of Law may also approve entry into the combined course at later stages in the BSc course.
The combined course consists of a five-year study program, the first three years of which are pursued subject to the BSc regulations. Students graduate with a BSc after three years and proceed to complete the LLB degree in a further two years of study within the Faculty of Law. It is also possible to pursue the fourth-year BSc honours course before undertaking the final two years of law studies.
Candidates for the BSc degree alone may include all or part of the sequences mentioned above in their studies only if the law subjects are credited to or acquired for the BSc degree.
For details of course content and reference books for these subjects, students should consult the Law section.

Course requirements

The faculties of Law and Science have approved two alternatives for course progression. The first alternative introduces more law subjects early in the course. The second alternative has a first year completely in science. The second alternative would be taken by students admitted after first year.
