|
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 (LLB) in three (3) years of full time study or part time equivalent, with necessary overloading.
The Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) degree satisfies the academic requirements for 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. For law graduates seeking admission in Western Australia, refer to the Legal Profession Act 2008 (WA).
Honours
Students who have not more than 120 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. |
