Application for enrolment

Applicants for enrolment in the Law School of the ANU College of Law must first meet the University’s admission requirements. There is a quota, determined from year to year, for new undergraduate enrolments in the Law School. Admission to the University does not guarantee admission to the Law School.

Applicants will be advised towards the end of January 2007 whether they have been accepted for entry. Those selected will then be given a time limit in which to notify the University whether or not they wish to take up the offer of a place.

There are no prerequisite school subjects for law studies. An important skill of the intending law student is the ability to write clear, concise and correct English and present a logical argument. For prerequisite subjects for combined programs please refer to the entry for the other discipline.

A student admitted to a combined program will be required to complete that study on a full time basis at least for the first year. A student admitted to the LLB or the LLB(G) may elect to undertake either full or part-time study.
