To complete the Bachelor of Laws degree, students are expected to read and understand the course requirements and to ensure that the units they choose are in accordance with these requirements.
Prerequisites, corequisites and prohibited combinations for units are set out under the unit entries in the handbook.
"Prerequisite" units must be been completed successfully prior to undertaking the unit for which they are listed. "Corequisite" units either must be completed previously or may be taken concurrently in the same semester. Units listed as "prohibitions" to a unit cannot be counted towards the relevant course requirements. It is the student's responsibility to ensure these requirements are met, and exceptions must be approved by the Faculty.
Undergraduate course maps - single and double degrees
A course map provides advice on the suitable sequencing of the units and guidance on how to plan unit enrolment for each semester of study. It is a student's responsibility to understand and meet all the requirements of their course as stated in the handbook. Course maps are a tool developed to assist you in this task. See the Undergraduate coursemaps for single and double degrees.
Elective units
The Faculty provides a range of undergraduate elective law units. The number of non-law and law elective units required varies according to the law course in which the student is enrolled. Refer to the 2026 Undergraduate law elective list.
