University Wide H1 Equivalence (H1E)The Monash Research Graduate School has established procedures to determine H1 equivalence. However, candidates applying for postgraduate scholarships in the Faculty of Law are advised to refer also to the Faculty specific guidelines. Faculty of Law Specific Guidelines for H1 Equivalence (H1E)Graduate entry from Australian or New Zealand universities with LLB honoursA number of factors are considered in order to make allowance for the relatively small number of H1 degrees that are awarded to undergraduate law students. The principal factors that are considered in granting H1E to a Monash or other Australian or New Zealand Bachelor of Laws honours graduate include:
Graduate entry from Australian or New Zealand universities with an ungraded honours degreeSome universities may only grade honours degrees where the student completes an honours research thesis. Students who have completed a Bachelor of Laws with honours, but no grade, will be considered for H1E. Factors to be considered are the same as those in Section A above. Other graduatesUngraded Master of Laws (by major thesis) (100% research component)Students in this group can be in Australia or overseas. Examiners’ reports and articles published in recognised refereed journals in English will also be considered Ungraded Masters of Laws by coursework with a minor thesis of at least 66%A minimum average of 75% is desirable for the coursework component.
