Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Laws Conjoint - Academic English Studies and Linguistics

The University of Auckland

A BA/LLB conjoint allows you to complete a BA together with an LLB in less time, and with fewer points, than it would take to complete the two degrees separately. This conjoint degree develops the skills that are essential for you to adapt and thrive in a fast-changing, globalised society. Through the study of Law, you will arm yourself with a skill set that meets the high demands of many careers, inside and outside of the legal profession. You can complement your legal study with a wide range of subjects in the humanities, social sciences, cultures and languages. Your BA/LLB study will help you to develop strong capabilities for many careers. You will develop knowledge of the law and its implications, and a sense of justice and public responsibility. Our graduates can be found practising law in New Zealand and worldwide, and pursuing the new opportunities opened up by changes and developments in society, technology and business.You will take Stage II courses in Academic English Studies (ACADENG) that are designed for students who speak English as an additional language. If your English language skills are not advanced enough for Stage II ACADENG courses, you will need to take Stage I ACADENG courses before you begin this subject. You will combine your study of academic English with the study of language structure (sounds, words, sentences and meaning). You will also study aspects of the theory of language teaching and learning.
