Double degrees
Disciplines available at first year and second year level in arts at Bendigo within Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Arts
The School of Arts at Bendigo is now part of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Melbourne (Bundoora). But the School of Arts currently recognises a number of different departmental disciplines and area studies as accredited majors within the Bachelor of Arts at Bendigo. As some of these are not available as majors at the Melbourne (Bundoora) campus, students must normally take only subjects at Bendigo from the following disciplines: English, history, politics, religious studies, sociology, women’s studies and Indonesian language (details below) if they wish to receive full advanced standing for their major studies upon transfer to the Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Arts at Melbourne (Bundoora). However, it may be possible to commence a major at Melbourne (Bundoora) not listed above, provided that the student completes no more than 60 credit points of arts at Bendigo at first year level. With the permission of the Registrar of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Melbourne (Bundoora), students may also be able to undertake some other subjects, but may not be able to continue with these disciplines at Melbourne (Bundoora). Students must ensure that they can continue with at least one approved discipline from the majors listed above at Melbourne (Bundoora).
Students are not permitted to take subjects from the Planning and Sustainable Development cluster or from other Schools outside of the Faculty.

These are the second year subjects undertaken by students who have completed INM1ADA and INM1ADB. Students who transfer into this program with advanced standing for Indonesian at second or third year must seek advice on what is required to complete a major due to the difference in credit points between Bendigo and Melbourne (Bundoora) subjects.

Legal studies in Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Arts
Students at Bendigo are not permitted to enrol in legal studies subjects as part of their combined Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Arts degree, because they are all business law subjects that cannot be taken at Melbourne (Bundoora) as part of the Bachelor of Arts. Upon transfer to Melbourne (Bundoora), students are permitted to take some non-business law legal studies subjects at second or third year level, such as criminology subjects. Students are also not permitted to enrol in Business Law (LST2BSL), Law of Business Association (LST2LBA/LST3LBA), Marketing Law (LST2MAL/LST3MAL) or Tourism and Hospitality Law (LST2THL) because these subjects are not offered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
Honours
Students may be permitted to undertake Honours in the law program in the final year of their law studies. Normally an average grade of B over two full-time years of law study is required. Honours comprises a research component and a compulsory research seminar. Students must complete a 10,000-word thesis (which takes the place of two law electives) on a topic to be approved by the Honours Research and Graduate Studies Committee. The compulsory research seminar is conducted throughout the year. Students must attend at least six of the sessions and are required to present a paper on their individual research project.
Students invited to enrol in Honours in arts must complete a further full-time year of study. For further information, please see the Bachelor of Arts entry in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences section of this Handbook.
Professional recognition
The law degree includes those subjects approved by the Victorian Council of Legal Education, which must be successfully completed as a prerequisite for entry into legal practice. See Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) at Melbourne (Bundoora) for specific subjects and further information.
