Thoughts and questions

• Is it accurate to describe the selection for receiving an invitation to the Honours programme as an entry requirement (when not called this in the Calendar) or should I relegate it to Supplementary information?

LLB Conjoint programme

Comments

• We decided to limit our treatment of conjoint and double degrees to a few words and a link to an existing homesite page.
• The suggested exception to this is the LLB, because 80% of students do a conjoint degree. As such, it seems necessary to give more coverage to this flexibility for this degree.I have used the major requirements section to describe the conjoint options, as the LLB doesn't have any majors. However, this section of the page is likely to be hand crafted.
• We need to state the general requirements for conjoints (at least those applicable to the LLB. See Entry and Conjoint Requirements sections above.
We then need to show the graphics of the LLB with each of the BA, BCom and BSc..

Entry Requirements

...

Conjoint Requirements

• For conjoint programmes consisting of the LLB and a three-year degree:
  • At least 660 points (typically 120 points/year), including:
    • At least 480 points from courses at 200-level or higher.
  • Maximum of 60 points may be credited to the conjoint programme from a previously completed degree.
  • At least 180 points from courses passed at Victoria University
• Students must meet the conjoint requirements for each component degree.
• 300-level courses may not normally be used to satisfy the major or specialisation requirements for both component degrees.

Supplementary information

• "Many students who wish to study Law in an LLB also wish to study other subjects on another degree concurrently. Referred to as a conjoint degree this arrangement allows an efficiency in the total number of points that must be completed, but comes with some conditions. This section helps explain the LLB conjoint option. Students requiring more information are encouraged to contact . . ."
• Students taking a conjoint programme usually study courses required for each of the programme in each year.

Thoughts and questions

• How does entry requirement 1 compare with what the faculty tell me that most students are enrolled in a conjoint programme from day 1? What should we say here (noting that it might yet apply to other conjoint programmes)?/LLB(Hons), so all the rest below is that same as for the LLB.
