Students complete the LLB (Hons) requirements concurrently with their LLB, which is different to Honours offerings in other University Programmes.

Throughout the programme, students will need to maintain at least a B+ average. High-achieving students who have gained a B+ average or higher across all of their Law courses in Parts I and II of the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme will be invited to transfer to the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) (LLB(Hons) programme to complete Parts III and IV. This will usually be at the end of the second year of study — or for conjoint students, at the end of the third year of study subject to meeting requirements. The LLB(Hons) programme requires students to enrol in one additional semester, on top of their LLB programme, to complete a double-semester seminar course and a dissertation. Throughout the programme, students will need to maintain at least a B+ average.
