The course structure at UWA is flexible and could be easily personalised to suit my interests. The opportunity to collaborate with other students and researchers in the School of Psychology has provided me with invaluable research experience.

What can I study? Find out which honours specialisations are currently on offer at UWA. Bachelor of Philosophy Honours The Bachelor of Philosophy Honours is a rewarding program for high-achieving students, with honours taken as part of the four-year course. When a unit has a similar focus but the legal framework is different, students may choose to study the unit on exchange and also at the UWA Law School and receive credit for both units. However, if a unit deals with similar common law or statutory content, students will not receive credit for studying the unit on exchange as well as at UWA Law School, and this will be noted in the unit approval process.
If the unit is so classified, the Faculty Advisor will indicate this during the unit approval process. Students must enrol in a full-time load at the exchange university, equivalent to 24 UWA credit points. GLO will advise students of the full-load requirements at the various universities with which the university has exchange agreements. Students should note that a full-load at an exchange university will not necessarily be four units. Students should also be aware that the full-load requirements for some exchange partners have changed recently; that is, the load undertaken by previous exchange students at a particular university will not necessarily be an accurate guide of the current load requirements for that university.
Students completing a full-time load at the exchange university are credited with 24 UWA points per semester of study. Students may receive a maximum of 48 points in credits towards their UWA law degree on exchange. Students must think carefully about how going on exchange will affect their course.
Students should seek advice to plan their pathway for exchange. To accommodate a period on exchange, the order in which core units are taken can be rearranged, provided students conform to course rules and meet all necessary pre- and co-requisites as specified in the Handbook.
Students planning an exchange should plan a course pathway for the remainder of their studies including the exchange period. Students who would like assistance planning their course pathway, or who wish to have their plan reviewed, can speak with their Student Advising Office.
The grades received on exchange are not counted for the purposes of invitations into the honours program or for the purposes of calculating honours classifications or degrees with distinction.
Prospective honours students should consult their Student Advising Office for advice on the implication of going on exchange. Prospective honours students considering an exchange should be aware that the honours program requires enrolment in Supervised Research 2, which is a point unit normally completed concurrently over semesters 1 and 2 of the final full year of studies.
Units taken on exchange are recorded on your UWA academic record as ungraded passes or ungraded fails. Complete an application and submit to the Arts and Law Student Office. To ensure everyone has the best possible chance of success, the Law School offers an emergency one-off financial grant to those in need.
Academic dishonesty or misconduct may have to be reported to the authorities responsible for admission to the legal profession and will be taken into account in deciding whether a person is suitable for admission as a legal practitioner. We can assist with: course advice and creating a study plan checking your enrolment advising on global and extra-curricular experiences directing you to student support services helping you with complex matters regarding special consideration, credit transfer, approved leave, academic progression, graduation eligibility and other requests.
