Postgraduate cross-disciplinary subjects

Certain postgraduate law subjects are available to postgraduate students in other faculties. All inquiries should be directed to the Law Information Office.

An undergraduate legal qualification is not necessarily a prerequisite for enrolment in postgraduate cross-disciplinary law subjects, although a basic knowledge of law is assumed for most subjects.

Cross-institutional award study

Students who are enrolled in a postgraduate course at another tertiary institution may apply to undertake subjects with the Faculty of Law that will count towards that award. Admission is subject to the joint approval of both institutions and the availability of places.

Admission requirements

For admission to cross-institutional award study, applicants must:

• have a Bachelor's degree, and
• be enrolled in a postgraduate degree course at another tertiary institution¹.

Footnote:
1. Note that undergraduate students will not normally be permitted to enrol in postgraduate subjects offered by the Faculty of Law.

Application procedures

Applicants must complete a Cross-institutional Application for Admission form. This form is available from the Law Information Office, the UTS Student Info & Admin Centre (refer here for location and contact details), or at:

www.sau.uts.edu.au/current/forms.html#admissions

Cross-institutional award applicants must also supply a letter of authority from their university.

Closing dates

The closing dates for applications are as follows:

• Summer session – mid-October
• Autumn semester – mid-January
• Spring semester – mid-June.

Fees

Cross-institutional award fees are paid at registration where a UTS identity card will be issued for use of the Library and other student facilities. Fees are non-refundable after the commencement of semester. However, where a student is forced to withdraw due to illness or disability, a letter requesting reimbursement (supported with appropriate verification) should be submitted to the Faculty for consideration.

Cross-institutional award fees for postgraduate students in 2004 are set at $1,500 per 6-credit-point subject.

Non-award study

Non-award study in postgraduate law allows candidates who do not wish to undertake a full degree program the opportunity to learn or upgrade their knowledge in a selection of subjects. Non-award students undertake subjects offered in the Faculty's degree programs.

Admission requirements

Requirements for admission are:

• a Bachelor's degree, and
• applicants are expected to have achieved an appropriate level of knowledge in relation to the area to be studied, or to demonstrate the ability to successfully undertake postgraduate study.

Application procedures

Applicants should complete an Non-award Study Application form. This form is available from the Law Information Office, the UTS Student Info & Admin Centre or online at:

www.sau.uts.edu.au/current/forms.html#admissions
