Re: Degrees

thanks!

haha its just that made me think maybe others could do this today?

the old generation were luckier

I'm not entirely sure why they could. I suspect it used to be like today's medicine courses, where you couldn't just take a degree in Medicine to qualify, you had to first do an undergraduate degree as a foundational type program for higher study, such as law (and in the form of a masters).

But certainly today you can't do a masters of law without an LLB degree.

Re: Degrees

Come again?

How can you do law in a Bachelor of Arts? Nowadays if you do that its a combined degree = BA/LLB.

NO FU*KING WAY GENERATION X (BAH WHATEVER THOSE PEOPLE WHO DID UNI IN THE 80S ARE CALLED) COULD DO LAW IN THEIR BA?

could they?

Hm, I would guess that you did the info of law in the BA as a major, but then you would have to do the LLM or secondary law degree for professional qualification? Like the US unis where you do pre-law major and then go to grad law school? this is just a guess though.

p.s. Mr Moonlight, you don't really look like Mr Darcy/Colin Firth do you? My regard for lawboys at unsw goes up 1000000 pts if that is the case...teehee.

Or a DipLaw.

Bobness - also worth noting is that UTS has a Masters of Law and Legal Practice, an MLLP, which is a masters but is actually Graduate Law. Something to note if you come across it and wonder what it is.

What was that really annoying from UNSW that hung around here and got admission to a Cambridge(?) BA(Law)?
