Students at other universities: Pathways into Law at Monash

Transfer into Law at Monash from another university degree

Students at other universities in Australia may be eligible to transfer into Law at Monash. You can enter a single or double degree with Law and may be eligible to receive credit for previous study (although you must check with the relevant faculty at Monash to ensure you meet their entry requirements). You may also be able to complete your double degree in the minimum time for that degree.

Entry requirements

To be eligible for an external transfer into law at Monash, students must have:

Completed one or more years of a recognised tertiary degree (ie. a minimum of 48 credit points) and
Achieved a distinction average or better (70%+) across all university units for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), or
Achieved a credit average or better (60%+) across all university units for a domestic or international full-fee place.

Note: The above averages are the minimum entry criteria to be eligible for admission. Entry to law courses via external transfer is a competitive process and the actual average required depends on the number and standard of applications received each year.
