Undergraduate

BSc Management with Law/Law with Management

Structure and Syllabus

You will be required to make a serious attempt in the examination for 12 units on the Standard Route of the degree. On the Graduate Entry Route you must take and pass 9 full units. On the Standard Route you do not have to apply for a specific structure. You will be awarded the appropriate degree depending on the units you choose to take.

You can take the Foundation and Further units in any order, provided you satisfy any prerequisites (units which you must have already passed). Prerequisites are shown in italic text in brackets. Most students, however, would normally take the Foundation units first because, as their name suggests, they are the 'building blocks' – the foundation – for the units that follow.

With Law

You do not have to apply for a specific structure. You will be awarded the appropriate degree depending on the units you choose to take.

If you are planning to become a lawyer, we advise you to contact the legal professional body in the jurisdiction where you hope to practise – before committing yourself to a particular plan of study – to find out if your degree will satisfy their entry requirements to the legal profession.

The two programmes BSc Law with Accounting and BSc Law with Management have Qualifying Law Degree (QLD) status for students with effective registration dates of 1 May 2007 or earlier.

The attachment of QLD status to these programmes for students registering from 1 September 2007 is currently under review. Please check this page for updates.

This provides an opportunity for graduates of any discipline to gain an additional undergraduate degree by following a shorter than normal programme, successfully completing nine full units rather than twelve. This can normally be achieved in a minimum of two years with the exception of the BSc Economics, BSc Economics & Finance, BSc Development & Economics and the BSc Information Systems & Management.
