As the current University student system does not formally recognise a winter ‘semester’, subjects offered in the winter recess are recorded on student records as either Semester 1 or Semester 2.  Those with a teaching commencement date of 30 June or earlier will be linked to Semester 1 and those with a teaching commencement date of 1 July or later will be linked to Semester 2. 

The list of compulsory JD subjects in 2010 is now available.

The list of elective subjects for the JD program in 2010 is now available.
