Honours Program One - Pre 2002 Enrolments

Honours Program One is only available to students who commenced their LLB pre-2002. Students must apply for entry into MLL401 Legal Project, which is worth two credit points.

Eligibility
Students must meet the following criteria to be eligible to make an application for the Honours Program One; MLL401 Legal Project.

•            Have successfully completed at least 16 LLB units; and
•            Have attained an average of at least 60% in these LLB units

Applications must be submitted to the LLB Coordinator on the appropriate form by the due date (usually early October annually) and will be considered by the School’s Executive Committee.

Structure
Students must complete the unit MLL401 Legal Project in addition to the units required for the completion of their LLB degree. Legal Project does not replace an elective unit within the pre-2002 model degree structure.

Graduating with Honours under Honours Program One (Pre-2002)
In order for students to meet the requirements for Honours Program One they must have:

  • Have successfully completed all of the requirements of their Bachelor of Laws degree, including professional experience and PLS tasks.
  • Have successfully completed MLL401 Legal Project in addition to their 24 LLB units.
  • Have maintained an average of 60% and above across all of their LLB units including MLL401 Legal Project, which is worth two credit points and is therefore counted twice when calculating the LLB average.
  • Check the Final Honours Grade table to see if you have achieved an Honours mark of H1, H2A or H2B.  Remember only final grades (across all LLB units) of 60% and above equate to Honours.
