OUTLINE OF DEGREE STRUCTURE

In this five year degree, candidates spend the first three years undertaking a combination of commerce and law units of study, to the value of 48 credit points in each year, and complete a commerce major in the subject area of their choice. It is important to plan a major in first year because most second year units of study, which allow students to specialise in an area of interest, have junior unit of study prerequisites.

In the fourth year, you will study a fixed curriculum, comprising units of study in a range of areas of law including administrative law, federal constitutional law, and property and commercial law. The fifth year will allow you to choose elective units of study from the Sydney Law School allowing you to specialise in a particular area of the law.

Refer to the Business School (Undergraduate) Handbook for more detailed information regarding this degree’s structure and requirements.
