Advice should be sought from the relevant Department on professional requirements. These units are in general of professional interest and will contain a sequence of required units considered essential knowledge for any practitioner, whatever the intended speciality. There is also a range of options in other subjects of professional and more general interest which will permit a student to specialise in the general areas of property law, government law, business law and social issues. Prerequisites are only set where considered essential, so that students will have a certain degree of flexibility in departing from the recommended sequence of units at 400 level and 500 level. Students who find at the end of their program that they require fewer than 18 credit points to complete that program may enrol for the number of credit points they still require.
Internal students can enrol only in a combined law degree course.
However, a student who has completed the requirements for a degree outside of law may be awarded that degree and, upon subsequent completion of the remaining requirements of the combined program, be awarded the LLB separately. Applicants who have completed courses at another institution may apply for and obtain advanced standing towards a combined degree. Although graduates may apply for admission, they will be required to complete the combined course, subject to such advanced standing as may be granted. During the first three years of their program, students are advised to register in the Division where they intend to pursue the greater part of their non-law studies. This is because students in the early years of their program have little choice of law subjects, and require academic advice as to the choices they must make in the rest of their course.
