Summary

Introduction

Bachelor of Laws students gain a professional degree of outstanding quality in four years.

You will deal with real people with real problems as part of the innovative clinical studies programme at UC, honing critical practical skills in the process of helping the community.

Entry criteria

Entry requirements

To enrol in the degree, you will need:

  • University Entrance (or equivalent). UC offers transition programmes for those who need help meeting these requirements.
  • If English is not your first language, you are also required to meet UC's Undergraduate language requirements. See how to provide your English language evidence to UC. If you need help meeting these requirements, or would like to practise your English skills before studying, UC offers English for Academic Purposes (EAP) language programmes.

See Admission and enrolment for all information on enrolling at UC.

Recommended preparation

Law studies do not require a background in any specific subject at secondary school, and entry to the first year of the LLB is open to everyone with University Entrance.

You will need to have good reading, writing, and analytical skills. Subjects such as English, drama, economics, te reo Māori, languages, history, and classical studies are useful preparation.
