The Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) degree is modelled on the Bachelor of Laws degree (V72) and is designed to enable graduate students to complete a Bachelor of Laws degree in three (3) years of full time study or part time equivalent, with necessary overloading. The ECU Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) degree satisfies the academic requirements for admission of law graduates as legal practitioners in Western Australia. 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. For law graduates seeking admission in Western Australia, refer to the Legal Practice Act 2003 (WA). Honours Students who have not more than 60 credit points left to complete to qualify for a Bachelor of Laws degree and who have achieved the required minimum weighted average mark (70%) may be eligible to graduate with Honours by satisfactory completion of LAW4710. Please see the 3rd year LLB structure for further details. |
