Getting into law or commerce... (1 Viewer)

So this is theoretical, but say I were to get an 85-92 atar, how would I be able to get into law or commerce at either UNSW or USYD, like what paths could I go down to get in there?

Enrol in another course for the first year, achieve high marks and transfer.

Usyd law: not likely.

Unsw law: all depends on 1st year marks (if you apply for an internal law transfer)

Transfer to usyd law would be difficult - they require 50:50 ATAR/WAM (average of first year marks). They usually recommend an ATAR of at least 97 and a D average to be competitive for a transfer.

However you could always do an undergrad degree at any uni, and then apply for the JD (juris doctor) which is the graduate equivalent of the LLB. This is a three year law degree that you do after completing an undergrad degree. At USYD the criteria at the moment is 72:25 WAM:ATAR as well as other things.

I'm not sure about UNSW criteria.

Apart from UNSW and USYD what other unis are good in com and/or law, in the sense that you wont be discriminated when applying for a job that you went to Maq or something.

Usyd are changing their policy I believe and will be allowing anyone with 75+ first year WAM to transfer to combined law. http://sydney.edu.au/law/fstudent/undergrad/faq.shtml#c9

I can't find the pdf with the changes although it may be implemented after you've done a year of uni

Are you only able to do combined law at USYD?

Both the UNSW and USYD programs are combined law... If you want to do law separately go to UTS.
