Melbourne model...Bachelor of Arts can lead to Law?!?

Monash is actually a pretty damn good uni. I quite like it!

But Melb leads in finance, because of the FMAA and the subjects are much better. (imo)

But yeah if it wasnt for that, I'd be more than happy staying here

- The JD is not a masters degree. It is the equivalent of a bachelor's degree.

So wait, if you get a JD, does that count as you've received a master's degree or a bachelor's?

A Bachelor degree. However, the JD is more highly regarded  compared to an LLB.

The JD is not a masters degree. It is the equivalent of a bachelor's degree. It is just given a pretentious title because it's law.

The title is just UoM being UoM. Their new grad-entry MBBS equivalent is titled MD, which I'd imagine annoyed graduates of their old MD (A reasearch docorate program).

Was just looking on the web at uni courses today and...well I found this interesting...

So...under the Melbourne model you could do a Bachelor of Arts and after that go for Juris Doctor (lawyer)? Hmm seems weird to me that...Bachelor of Arts can lead to it lol...

Am I mistaken?

The JD is very hard to get into! As long as you got a 99 ENTER and basically got H1's the whole way through you may have access to a full fee place in the JD
