Graduate entrants are able to take an accelerated 300 credit BLA provided they already hold a bachelor degree qualification. The two years of study are designated first and second professional year respectively and the courses for each year are shown in Schedule B from the schedules for BLA. Please note, if you choose to start the BLA as a graduate entrant in Semester Two, you will need to spread your course of study over two and a half years.
BLA students who have excelled in their first year will be able to transfer to the MLA which will take a further 18 months.
Students who have completed the first, second or third examination of the BLA under the 2008 regulations may transfer to the appropriate following professional year of the 2010 regulations. Students who have not passed all the courses in a particular examination must see a course advisor.

The consideration is based on performance in:LASC 318, SOCI 314, LASC 406, LASC 409, and two other courses (worth 30 credits in total) at the 300 level or above.
These courses will normally be completed within two academic years.
