Designed to hone your skills in communication, problem-solving, research, and independent thinking, your Bachelor of Laws offered at the Victoria University of Wellington 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. To practise law in New Zealand you need to have a law degree.
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, legal competitions, and contributing to justice projects and community law organisations.
Conjoint and double degrees
You can choose to combine your Bachelor of Laws with another degree in a conjoint degree. A conjoint degree will allow you to complete the four-year LLB and a three-year degree within five years.
Popular combinations with an LLB are a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce or a Bachelor of Science.
Conjoint or double degrees are more intense programmes of study and we recommend you talk to an adviser about making a plan that will work for you.
