Bachelor of Laws (Hons)
Bachelor of Laws (Hons)
Studying a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) at Monash University offers world-class legal education, global recognition, diverse career opportunities, and practical experience through internships and clinics, preparing you for a successful legal career.
A Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is a great start to your career. You can also further enhance your career options and professional outcomes by combining your law degree with another discipline in one of our double degrees.
In a double degree, you undertake both qualifications simultaneously; enabling you to complete your degrees in a shorter time than if you took each degree separately.
Most of the double degrees are five years in length, except for Engineering (Honours), which is six years.
The Bachelor of Laws (Honours) degree
The Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is structured so that you will study your compulsory units in the first three years and progress through the course as a cohort group of students. This will help you build an even stronger support network in the early years of study. It will also help you to develop and build your skills as you progressively study a series of units.
A Bachelor Honours degree requires that graduates ‘demonstrate the application of knowledge and skills to plan and execute project work and/or a piece of research and scholarship with some independence'. This means that by undertaking our Bachelor of Laws (Honours) you will complete a research unit that satisfies this requirement and will give you the necessary research skills to graduate with a higher-level qualification.
