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.
