Description
The study of law develops problem-solving skills and powers of analysis. It teaches precise and imaginative use of language. It also promotes ethical thinking and a focus on justice and fairness. It enhances students' thinking, reasoning and expressive abilities within legal and related contexts, leading to employment in the legal profession, law reform agencies, government service or other relevant areas of employment.
The study of aerospace engineering will focus on aerodynamics, aerospace materials, aerospace structures, propulsion and aerospace instrumentation and control. This will be complemented by a major emphasis on design, which will be taught with a project-based focus. Current industry practice and guidance on professional issues such as ethics, legal, environmental and safety issues will also be covered along with an understanding of the role of the aerospace industry in a wider, global context.
Objectives
The objectives of the LLB program at Monash are to enable students to gain an understanding of basic legal concepts and legal institutions and of the historical, social, political and economic factors influencing their development. Upon completion of the LLB, students will be able to identify, use and evaluate the concepts, principles, rules and methods used in legal argument and will have developed oral and written skills, especially of legal argument, legal research and critical analysis. Students will have gained an understanding of concepts of justice, a concern to promote justice and an appreciation of their professional responsibilities.
The successful completion of the aerospace engineering component will enable students to acquire knowledge in the core disciplines underpinning aerospace engineering and incorporate this into the design of systems and components for the aerospace industry. They will be able to formulate problems, propose innovative solutions, analyse the technical and other aspects of these and make decisions about the preferred option.

Description
The study of law develops problem-solving skills and powers of analysis. It teaches precise and imaginative use of language. It also promotes ethical thinking and a focus on justice and fairness. It enhances students' thinking, reasoning and expressive abilities within legal and related contexts, leading to employment in the legal profession, law reform agencies, government service or other relevant areas of employment.
The science component aims to provide a broad, general science education with an emphasis on generic skills, which include numeracy, data analysis and presentation skills, and the capacity to work in teams. Graduates will also have specialist training in at least one science and one arts discipline, in preparation for honours and postgraduate study, or for employment in any of the traditional careers for arts graduates or scientists.
Objectives
The objectives of the LLB program at Monash are to enable students to gain an understanding of basic legal concepts and legal institutions and of the historical, social, political and economic factors influencing their development. Upon completion of the LLB, students will be able to identify, use and evaluate the concepts, principles, rules and methods used in legal argument and will have developed oral and written skills, especially of legal argument, legal research and critical analysis. Students will have gained an understanding of concepts of justice, a concern to promote justice and an appreciation of their professional responsibilities.
Upon completion of the science component, students will have advanced knowledge and skills in at least one area of science. Graduates will have improved life and employment skills including generic skills necessary to critically analyse and communicate ideas and information, and a capacity to apply discipline knowledge and critical thinking to define and analyse problems, and develop effective solutions.
Structure
The Bachelor of Laws course consists of 12 compulsory units which must be completed by all students enrolled in an LLB program plus a further six 'quasi-compulsory' units which must be completed by students who wish to be qualified for admission to practice as a barrister or solicitor in Victoria. The remainder of the program consists of law elective units chosen by the student. The award of an honours degree in law is based on the weighted average of marks obtained in Monash law units.
The science component requires students to complete 96 points of science units, including:
- a major sequence in a science area of study
- a minor sequence in a different science area of study
- a level-one mathematics/statistics unit
- a level-two science core unit
- two elective science units.
Students must satisfy the core requirements for the Bachelor of Science as part of their science studies by completing SCI2010 (The practice and application of science) and at least one level-one mathematics or statistics unit from SCI1020 (Introduction to statistical reasoning), MTH1030 (Techniques for modelling) or STA1010 (Statistical methods for science). The level-one mathematics/statistics unit taken will depend on the mathematics background and interests. The statistics units SCI1020 and STA1010 are normally recommended for students planning to study areas where experimental design and data analysis skills are particularly important, such as life sciences. SCI1020 is for students without a strong mathematics background, while STA1010 requires the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) Mathematical Methods Units 3 and 4 (or equivalent). The mathematical methods unit MTH1030 requires VCE Specialist Mathematics Units 3 and 4 or MTH1020 (or equivalent).
The Faculty of Science requires science studies to be chosen from the science units listed in the 'Science areas of study and sequences' section in this handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/sci-ug-study-clayton-intro.html. In order to pursue a particular science sequence, students must take the necessary science prerequisites in their first level of study.
