COMBINED DEGREES PROGRAM

Back to Bachelor of Business program of study.

BACHELOR OF BUSINESS/BACHELOR OF LAWS AND LEGAL PRACTICE

For admission to the combined degrees program, students must first apply for admission to the Bachelor of Laws and Legal Practice. If successful, they will be given the option of taking up the combined degrees program at the time of their first enrolment.

Eligible students who decline the offer to take up the combined degrees program at enrolment and wish in a subsequent year to enrol in the combined degrees program will be required to apply to SATAC for admission to the Bachelor of Business.

Students who commence but subsequently do not wish to complete the combined degrees program may be eligible to transfer to either the Bachelor of Business or the Bachelor of Laws and Legal Practice program and to receive credit for some, or all, of the topics already completed.

Program of study [November, 2008]

To qualify for the combined degrees program of Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Laws and Legal Practice or the combined degrees program of the Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Laws a student must complete the following program of study with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic:

• a Law component of 138 units for the Bachelor of Laws and Legal Practice or 120 units for the Bachelor of Laws;
• a core Business component of 30 units as detailed below;
• a Business Major of 33 units as detailed below;
• sufficient other units of electives to make at least 192 units in total for the Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Laws and Legal Practice or 174 units in total for the Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Laws.#

# Typically, students will be required to undertake electives to meet the required number of minimum units only if they have chosen Human Resource Management as their Business major, and only then depending upon their choice of topics to complete that major.

Not all topics necessarily are available in a given year.
