Student enrichment: International study opportunity: Pathway for Monash JD students to Oxford postgraduate degrees

For an extra six months of full-time study, successful students will be awarded two degrees: the Monash JD and the BCL or Masters in Law and Finance from Oxford.

The Dean and Professor Marilyn Pittard (Associate Dean of International and Engagement) are very pleased to announce that the Oxford Law Faculty and the Monash Law Faculty have signed an agreement to provide a pathway enabling early entry for Monash Law JD students to study the Bachelor of Civil Law degree or the Masters in Law and Finance at Oxford University.

JD students who are accepted into the BCL or Masters in Law and Finance programs will commence studies in their final semester of the JD degree, undertake an academic year of postgraduate study at Oxford and earn credit towards the JD for the semester completed at Oxford, to enable completion of both degrees.

In the equivalent of three-and-a-half-years of full-time study, successful students will be awarded two degrees: the Monash JD and the BCL or Masters in Law and Finance from Oxford.

Each University will administer its own admission standards and the pathway is not a joint or dual degree program. The Dean explained that “whilst Oxford admission standards are high, this pathway will provide an opportunity for our outstanding students to undertake further study by effectively adding only 6 months to their JD study program. It provides another international study opportunity for students in keeping with the Faculty’s internationalisation objectives”.
