Note: The information listed in this example is based on the unit of study offerings for the current year and is intended as a guide only.

Students are usually able to complete the units of study for their course in different sequences to that which is listed (including enrolling in units in summer or winter intensive sessions when available).

Students are advised to plan their course based upon their individual needs.

The Business School website illustrates unit of study progression sequences for specific majors in this combined degree.

Progression into the Bachelor of Laws single degree

By the end of the third year in the combined degree program, full-time students should have completed the requirements for their Bachelor of Commerce degree (144 credit points) and will be eligible to graduate with this degree.

Students then transfer to the single Bachelor of Laws degree in their fourth year and complete the remaining requirements for this degree under the supervision of the Sydney Law School. An additional two years of study are required at the Law School - 'Year 4' and 'Year 5' as indicated under Law units of study (core and elective) in the preceding information, where the remaining units of study for the Bachelor of Laws are completed.

Further information on the final years of this program is available in the Sydney Law School Handbook.
