Hi, im interested in doing a commerce/law degree either at UNSW or USYD
Just wondering how many majors i have to do for commerce and how many majors i have to do for law?
thanks
Law doesn't have a major. It's just law. At USYD you have two years worth of compulsory subjects (16 subjects), and 1 year worth of electives (8 subjects including a jurisprudence subject). Actually there might now only be 7 electives, I think there might be a compulsory private international law subject as well...but I'm not sure, that requirement came in after I started so I don't have to worry about it.
At USYD generally for combined law degrees you only get one major in your other degree (rather than two). I know this is the case with arts, and I think its the same for commerce, but someone with a commerce background might be able to confirm that.
edit: here is a link to the 2013 undergraduate LLB guide for USYD
http://sydney.edu.au/law/images/Feature Pane/2012/2013SydneyLawSchoolUndergraduateGuide.pdf
page 8 has a diagram of the course structure for a commerce/LLB combined student. It also appears that there is a compulsory private international law A subject for 5th year, so you get 7 electives (this is a relatively new addition).
