Conjoint degrees provide students with the opportunity to complete the requirements of two Bachelors degrees, concurrently, over a reduced period of time. While students are bound by the regulations governing each degree, the total number of papers required is reduced due to special cross-crediting arrangements. Both qualifications must be conferred together in order to take advantage of these special cross-crediting arrangements. Students taking an honours degree will be required to take additional papers. Approval for conjoint programmes must be obtained from both the Faculty of Law and the other faculty or school involved. The Bachelor of Laws degree comprises a total of 480 points, of which 100 points are required from other subjects (some subjects and papers may have individual entry requirements). To satisfy NZ Council of Legal Education requirements, students wishing to proceed to the Professional Legal Studies programme and admission as a Barrister and Solicitor must complete a Level 4 paper in Legal Ethics (10 points) There is a reason why the BA is so internationally popular. It is because of our innate curiosity about who we are and where we come from – the big questions. When you study for a BA, you are investigating the history and development of humankind and their expression in the creative arts. You will learn how humanity thinks, feels and acts, and how the past shapes our present and our future. The BA gives you the freedom to design a degree with an arts base that combines subjects you feel passionate about with those that broaden your career options. A BA is prized by employers and students because it is a flexible degree yet teaches specific skills. You will develop analytical abilities, research experience, strong written and verbal communication skills, and a broader perspective on the world and its various cultures.
