Course
abbreviation: MB BS/LLB
Monash is the only university in Australia which offers this joint degree. It
is designed to be completed in seven years within the present six-year medicine
course. The combined program is a recognition by the faculties of Medicine and
Law that the burgeoning area of medical law requires a pool of graduates with
an academic grounding in both professions.
It is anticipated that a small number of students admitted into the new
five-year medicine course will be able to apply for a place in the combined
degree in early 2002. The structure and length of the combined course is
currently under review.
Students should note that degree regulations are the formal prescription of the requirements to complete a degree and it is the student's responsibility to ensure that the requirements are understood.
