The graduate LLB program requires students to complete 24 units. Each unit is worth 3 credit points for a total of

72 credit points. Of the 24 units to be studied, 15 are compulsory and reflect the areas of study required by the

legal profession for admission to legal practice. Macquarie also requires students to complete a Participation and

Community Engagement (PACE) unit, which will facilitate the transition of our graduates into the workplace. The

remaining nine units are to be drawn from a rich variety of elective units (listed below).

The standard study templates for the LLB curriculum (72 credit points) for the full-time Graduate LLB Program
