While
precise details regarding the requirements for the faculty's undergraduate
degrees are outlined in the faculty's regulations, students may find some
assistance in the following restatement of these requirements in a less formal
manner.
A full list of all the elective units available in the degrees is set out in
the faculty resolutions. The normal procedure is for students to select, in
accordance with the regulations, the units they wish to study in each year of
their degree.
Student Services officers of the faculty are available to advise students on
their choice of units at the time of enrolment. This advice, however, will be
most helpful if students have already made themselves familiar with all the
units and considered what their fields of interest are likely to be. Similarly,
when re-enrolling in later years of the course, students should discuss their
choice of units with the faculty advisers.
It is the responsibility of students to ascertain, from the regulations
governing their courses, the units (including the number of points) required
for their LLB degree. The approval of students' enrolments by the faculty does
not relieve the students of this responsibility.
Students should consult table 4, resolution 16 of the faculty resolutions at the end of this section.
Compulsory units are taught over a full year or half-year, and most elective units are taught over a half-year. Whether a unit covers a full year or half-year is indicated in the outline of the particular unit.
Details of unit structures, including the number of hours devoted to lectures/tutorials etc is set out elsewhere in this handbook (under 'Units -- all faculties'), or on the Law faculty website at http:// http://www.law.monash.edu.au/
Part-time students are expected to proceed at half the rate of full-time students and to complete their units for the degree in the same order as full-time students. The faculty offers some lectures for part-time students after 4 pm.
There are no arrangements for external studies. All students are expected to participate in the classes in units for which they are enrolled.
