Part-time and external studies - Faculty of Law

Part-time studies

Units to the value of 48 points per academic year constitute a standard annual full-time load. Upon approval, students may seek permission to overload during the course of the degree if they meet the requirements of completing minimum of 48 credit points and achieved a minimum credit average (60 per cent) in the last academic year.

Part-time enrolment is allowed for domestic students only, provided the student is able to comply with the applicable time limit for degree completion as stated on the faculty website for the relevant course. Students enrolled in part-time studies 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.

International students are required to enrol in a full-time study load (24 credit points per semester). However, may apply for approval to reduce their study load if they meet the criteria. Please visit the study load web page for details.

External studies

There are no arrangements for external or off-campus studies. All Monash University LLB programs are taught on-campus and students are expected to attend and participate in the classes for units in which they are enrolled.

The provision of taped lectures (available only at the discretion of the lecturer) and other teaching materials online is intended to supplement rather than to substitute for regular class attendance.
