PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION

The Bachelor of Laws degree satisfies the academic requirements for the admission of law graduates as legal practitioners in Western Australia.  Professional recognition has also been extended to the off-campus mode of delivery from 2010.  As with other Bachelor of Laws degrees in Australia, before a law graduate may be admitted to the legal profession in that state or territory, certain additional requirements must be satisfied after completion of the Bachelor of Laws degree.  Law graduates seeking admission in Western Australia should refer to the Legal Profession Act 2008 (WA).

Standard University admission requirements apply.

Portfolio pathway applications will not be accepted for this course.

Admission to the Contemporary Fashion and Textiles major, the Visual Arts major and the Visual Arts Immersion major is based on a folio and interview.

Applicants for the Post ATAR French and Japanese majors will require WACE 3A/3B, or equivalent language skills in the relevant language.

Native speakers of Japanese who have completed their compulsory education in Japan and/or in a Japanese educational institution overseas (i.e., six years at primary and three years at junior high school) are not eligible to enrol in a Japanese Major or Minor.
