The following should be read in conjunction with the statement on the Bachelor
of Commerce and the Bachelor of Laws in the Law section of this handbook.
The double-degree course of Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws requires five
years of full-time study, with an overload of 12 points. An additional year is
required to complete the degree with honours. Students intending to undertake
honours in commerce would need to complete the overload in the first three
years. Subjects in the Faculty of Business and Economics are six-point subjects
and subjects in the Faculty of Law are six- or 12-point subjects. Students must
complete subjects to the value of a minimum of 252 credit points subject to the
following conditions.
(a) 96 points (16 subjects) must be chosen from subjects offered by the
Faculty of Business and Economics (Clayton) and must include:
(i) Completion of the following compulsory subjects:
(ii) Completion of a
major in a discipline or field of study of the faculty. This requires students
to complete 48 points of study in a single discipline or field of study with at
least 12 points at each of second and third-year level. Disciplines are defined
by department prefixes and fields of study are those sets of related subjects
that may be defined in the handbook.
(iii) A maximum of eight first-year-level subjects (48 points). In order
to meet this requirement, students are able to undertake the second-year
versions of the appropriate number of compulsory subjects.

subjects LAW3200 Constitutional law, LAW3100 Administrative law, LAW2200 Torts
and elective law subjects to bring the total law subjects to 156 points.
