The nature of the seminar courses gives students the ability to deep-dive into topics. The small enrolment numbers on each seminar, generally no more than 24, facilitates in-depth discussion. Students are expected to present an oral version of their research paper to the class during Semester Two.

Attendance at every class is compulsory and students are expected to participate fully throughout. Students are responsible for working out their timetable to ensure the seminar does not clash with other enrolled courses. However, there is scope to apply for an enrolment concession in certain other courses (not the Honours seminar).

The Law School tries to ensure that there are a wide range of seminar course topics available each year.

There is no requirement that your dissertation be written on the same subject area as the Honours seminar that you enrol in.

Students offered a place into LLB(Hons) must accept their offer before they can enrol into a seminar course.

Enrolments for the seminar courses will open after offers have been made, and students may self-enrol into their preferred seminar. Enrolments are on a first come, first served basis.

Due date for the final Honours seminar research paper

The seminar research paper is usually due at 12 noon on the Friday of the final day of lectures. However, please check the Canvas Page of the seminar that you are enrolled in. If the due date is not on the Canvas page, then please get in touch with the Course Director of the relevant Honours Seminar.
