The following should be read in conjunction with the degree
regulations of the Bachelor of Economics and the Bachelor of Laws. The
double-degree course of Bachelor of Economics/Bachelor of Laws requires the
equivalent of five-and-a-quarter years of full-time study, with an overload of
six points in years four and five. An additional year is required to complete
the degree with honours. Units in the Faculty of Business and Economics are
six-point units and units in the Faculty of Law are 12-point units. Students
must complete units to the value of a minimum of 252 points subject to the
following conditions.
(a) 96 points (16 units) must be chosen from units offered by the Faculty
of Business and Economics (Clayton) and must include the following:

(ii) Students must also either
complete two additional second-year level and three third-year level units
drawn from the Department of Economics (Clayton) to complete a major sequence

48 points of study in this discipline with at least 12 points in second year
and 18 points in third year
(iii) A maximum of eight first-year-level units (48 credit points). In
order to meet this requirement, students are able to undertake the second-year

Law the 12-point units LAW1100 (Legal process), LAW3300 (Criminal law), LAW2100

the compulsory units LAW3200 (Constitutional law), LAW3100 (Administrative law)
and LAW2200 (Torts) and elective law units to bring total law units to a total
of 156 points.
