Admissions information for domestic students
Master of Laws (Juris Doctor)

Entry requirements

Minimum entrance requirements

An undergraduate degree or equivalent qualification. Selection is a competitive process made primarily on academic merit. In addition, consideration may be given to:

Personal and professional achievements

• Communication skills
• Commitment, motivation and reasons for undertaking the course
• Masters degree of at least 1 year equivalent

As a guide, a minimum GPA of 5.0 on a 7 point scale is required to be considered for a full fee place. The minimum requirement to be considered for a CSP place is a GPA of 6.4. However, the actual GPA required depends on the number and standard of applications received during that selection period.

Students wishing to transfer from a JD course at another university, who are seeking a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), are assessed on their entire academic history.

Special application requirements

Those applicants who have not completed any formal study in the last eight years are required to submit a current curriculum vitae and a completed Monash JD personal statement. The personal statement may include your reasons for wanting to study law, why you want to study at Monash Law School, any voluntary work or relevant work experience, any applicable achievements and other relevant aspects that you feel will improve your application.

Some candidates may also be interviewed.
