As an alternative to taking the LLB course alone, students may combine the
degree of Bachelor of Laws with the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Asian Studies),
Bachelor of Arts (Australian Studies), Bachelor of Arts (European Studies),
Bachelor of Arts (Social Sciences), Bachelor of Performing Arts, Bachelor of
Music, Bachelor of Business (Management), Bachelor of Business (Banking and
Finance), Bachelor of Business Systems, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of
Economics, Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of
Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery. Any student wishing to take such a combined
course must obtain a quota place in both faculties.
In order to complete both degrees within the minimum period, it is necessary to
follow particular sequences of non-law and law subjects (see resolution 1 of
the faculty board). Students who wish to combine an honours degree in another
faculty with a law degree will be unable to do so in fewer than six years.
Following a review of its curriculum including the structure of
law studies taken as part of a combined degree, the faculty board has
approved a recommendation from the Curriculum Review Committee that during the
first three years of a combined course the desired sequence of subjects is:
Year 1 |
Year 2 |
Year 3 | |
School leavers |
Legal process; Criminal law |
Torts |
Contract; Property |
Internal transfer - after one year of study |
Legal process; Criminal law |
Contract; Property |
The transitional arrangements to give effect to the above sequence have been
negotiated with other faculties. Students enrolling in a combined course should
consult course advisers.
