Entry to the course will be subject to a minimum LAWS GPA of 5.7 [*] (at the time of application) and completion of at least 32 units (#) of LAWS courses (at the time of enrolment in the research project). If more applications are received than places available in the course/s, places will be allocated by ballot.
