The Bachelor of Laws may be taken as a graduate-entry program in a minimum of three years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time). The course is offered by the College of Business, Government and Law.
Students who complete this award cannot be admitted to Legal Practice without completing further practical training.
The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.
Applicants must normally hold an approved degree or equivalent qualification.

Credit may be granted for topics taken at other institutions. However, except in exceptional circumstances approved by the Dean (Education), a majority of units towards the degree must be obtained from topics offered by Flinders University.
To qualify for the Bachelor of Laws as a graduate-entry student, a student must complete 108 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, comprising 94.5 units of compulsory topics and 13.5 units of option topics, as set out below.
Students who complete at least 75% of their degree at Flinders and have achieved an overall GPA of 5.5 or greater in the course may be awarded the degree ‘with distinction’.
Option topics may be taken from topics not offered or cross-listed by the College only with the written permission of the Dean (Education). Under no circumstances will permission be given to take topics where entry and course requirements are not met, or the Dean (Education) has designated them as unacceptable.
The Dean (Education) may specify that two or more topics represent unacceptable combinations.
Except with permission of the Dean (Education) the program must be completed within ten consecutive years.
The award of a grade of Fail (F) on more than one occasion in the same topic, which may include attempts of the same topic undertaken in other awards, may constitute prima facie evidence of unsatisfactory progress for the purposes of the University's Policy on Student Progress.
