That makes no sense... all law degrees have a set number of compulsory, core units you must study. Plus quasi-compulsory ones which you have to do to be admitted to practice in Victoria.

The only real variation between law degrees of different universities is in the elective units offered.

Ask what % is in employment in the relevant field (law in this case). If they aren't willng to give you such info ask yourself why.
