The Law and Society, Criminology, and/or Business Law major/s are not required for entry into the Juris Doctor (JD).
The criteria for selection into the UWA JD via the standard pathway are:
- a Bachelor's degree, or equivalent qualification, as recognised by UWA; and
- the equivalent of a UWA Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 5.5 (out of 7.0)*
Applications will be ranked based upon the GPA. Admission will be awarded to the highest ranked applicants who fall within the intake quota for that year.
*All completed tertiary studies will be used when calculating the GPA.
Further details and alternative entry pathways are set out on the program website.
