The Murdoch University School of Law commenced an alternate entry night course in Semester Two 2006. This new course was created out of the School’s concern that potential students who have the requisite intellectual capacity and diligence to succeed in the LLB program, but do not have recognised prior learning, were not able to gain entry into the School. The initial Pre-law course was a resounding success, with 20 of the 28 participants enrolling in the LLB degree course in 2007. The course has run each semester since then and over 60 students have enrolled in the LLB program after completing the course. The School of Law is pleased to note that a number of students who have entered the LLB program through the Pre-law course have won prestigious awards.
The School of Law is pleased to announce that the pre-Law entry course will run again in Semester Two 2008.
The course will run on Wednesday evenings from 27 August 2008 to 19 November 2008 . The course, which comprises approximately the same contact time, workload and rigor of a three point law unit, will consist of:
- Three lectures covering an introduction to the Australian Legal System;
- Two intensive library tutorial sessions;
- Seven lectures covering substantive law, particularly the Law of Contract;
- Two assessable projects; and,
- A final exam.
Although completion of the course will not attract a Murdoch University testamur, students who complete the course at a Distinction level (70% or above) will be offered direct entry into the Murdoch LLB program in Semester One 2009. Students will be able to enroll in the LLB degree course on either a part or full time basis. Students should note that a number of core law units will be offered in evening mode in 2009.
The fee for the course is $1,500.00.
This course will only run if a minimum of 16 students enroll. Enrolments are now open, but applications will not be processed until there are 15 applicants.
Applicants should download Enrolment Form and Statistic Form. Please fill in both documents.
