Transfering from Com/Arts to Com/Law possible after 1 year?

[GMK11]

I was wondering, If i did commerce/arts at monash next year, Is it possible to transfer to commerce/law in the following year? (also at monash). Would that be a hell of a lot of work?

Is there anyone on here that knows someone who does commerce/law, or wants to do it? I reckon it sounds so interesting. Id love to hear from someone who does it.

Yes it is possible - but you will have to go very well in your undergrad degree - like 80% average. I think (have no way to verify) half of their law intake is made through transfer.

I'm guessing from VU it's even higher? XD

I'll be having a crack at comm/law @ monash at the end of '09 as well

[xox.happy1.xox]

Ohh... Best of luck everyone! (Hoping for Law at Monash myself at the end of '09.

Thanx for the replies guys

Im leaving commerce/arts as my first preferance I think. Hopefully i do well enough in it to transfer.

Hope you all get into ur course!! im sure you will ; )

i read up on commerce/law and thought it was pretty cool too! the monash lady said you need a 70 average but apparently thats hard to get in uni. i'm probably going to jump into commerce/science and then work out which of the two sides i like. if its commerce, ill jump into commerce/law, otherwise i'll try to transfer to pharmacy. two extreme ends i know

What mark is 70% when talking about grades (high distinction, credit, etc,...)

Distinction.


You do have to remember that these marks are much more difficult to get than at high school: an HD (80-100) is the equivalent of an A+, I'd say.

Oh, that sucks. ... Is the system similar, such as a D would be 65-79 and so on? (I don't know how to explain it? :S)

I don't get what you're saying.
Anyway, the scoring system at ANU is:
HD 80-100
D 70-79
C 60-69
P 50-59
F 0-49
Though if you get 45-49 sometimes there's the opportunity to sit a supplementary exam. The scoring system is the same at Monash I think, and the same at Melbourne only they call them different things for some stupid reason.
It's hard to compare uni grades to school grades because there's no clear relation between the two - I have friends who got over 99 for their ENTER, for example, who "only" get Cs for their law subjects.

That's what I was trying to say. Thank you.

what's a H1 then?

[AppleXY]

H1 = HD. (higher grade (or something) honours))

There are actually a lot of guides out there targeted at current law students that would provide prospective law students with a lot of useful information as to what the study of the law is all about:
