To practise law in New Zealand you need to have a law degree. Designed to hone your skills in communication, problem-solving, research and independent thinking, your Bachelor of Laws will be prized by employers in many different fields. You'll learn to apply the techniques of legal analysis and gain a solid grounding in different aspects of law, including public law, commercial law, international law, common law and statute law. Gain the skills and vocabulary to both uphold and challenge the legal principles that govern our daily lives. You'll get the opportunity to put what you learn into practice straight away by entering debates and legal competitions, clerking and contributing to justice projects and community law organisations. You'll need to complete 90 non-Law points by the end of your Bachelor of Laws, so you might want to combine your LLB with another degree. This will take a minimum of five years’ study. Law can be combined with any subject offered at Victoria through a conjoint or double degree.
