Hey everyone
I was wondering if I was doing say, Commerce at UNSW, could I appy for external transfer into Usyd Law? Or would I have to be doing a law degree at another uni?
And if it was possible, what would happen to the commerce degree once I transfered? Would I be doing comm/law at usyd?
Thank you
You can't transfer to just a law degree - you have to transfer to a combined degree. If you were doing commerce at UNSW, I guess you would then apply for transfer to Commerce/Law degree at usyd. Although theoretically you could transfer to any combined degree i think eg. Arts/Law, but its unlikely you would get credit for anything, so I wouldn't advise it! You don't have to be doing a law degree at another uni.
If you got accepted, you would then apply to commerce faculty to get credit for your commerce subjects you completed at UNSW, so hopefully you wouldn't be behind at all. You then enter Comm/Law second year, catch up on first year law subjects - by the end of third year you should be at same point as everybody else (ie. shouldn't take any extra time).
As a random question though - if you were doing commerce at UNSW - why would you transfer to USYD commerce/law? You could always just do commerce at usyd and then transfer to usyd commerce/law - or visa versa eg. stay at unsw and transfer to comm/law there... any particular reason for the uni switch? (not that it makes any difference to usyd transfers whether you are already at usyd or not, just a query).
