consult the section of the Handbook that refers to their intended major.
Psychology major (accredited program)

Combined degree with Law
________________________________________
University of Tasmania Course and Unit Handbook –Course details for 2003
July 2, 2016, 01:44 AM, page –3
Bachelor of Commerce
Students enrolled for the BCom must apply at the end of Year 1 to enter combined studies
with the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree. The combined degree takes five years full time.
Quotas apply. The first year of the combined degree is available at Launceston. Students
must complete the combined degree at the Hobart campus.
The BCom-LLB provides a strong basis for a subsequent career in business or public
administration, with specialisation in the relationships between economic decisions and
legal constraints and requirements.
The unit LAW101 Introduction to Law is compulsory in Year 1 for those intending to
transfer to the combined degrees. A full-time student will complete BEA110, BSA101,
BFA103, BMA101, BEA140 plus one core elective unit and LAW101 in Year 1 (total of
100%). Should the student not progress with Law after the completion of Year 1, the
outstanding core unit, BFA141 Commercial Transactions, must be completed. This can be
taken in Year 2. Students progressing with Law will be exempt from taking BFA141 as the
Law units LAW200 Contract and LAW201 Torts will be its substitute.
Combined degrees with Arts, Information Systems and
Science, Engineering and Technology
Four-year combined degree programs are available based on the Bachelor of Commerce
and the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Computing/Bachelor of Information Systems and a
Bachelor of Science. A four-year combined degree, Bachelor of Aquaculture and Bachelor
of Commerce, may be offered in 2003 (subject to Council approval).
Honours degree
The Honours degree in the fields of Accounting Corporate Accountability or Management
(incorporating Business Management, Human Resource Management, International
Business and Marketing) requires one year of full-time study in addition to the
requirements for the BCom pass degree. Students with a major in Information Systems in
the BCom degree may complete an honours degree program in the BIS honours program.
