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.Art History examines the many roles the visual arts have played in different cultures and in different periods – aesthetic, social, religious, political and commercial. You can explore not only painting, drawing and sculpture, but also architecture, photography, video, performance art, design and the graphic and decorative arts. Our lectures are visually stimulating, including a variety of beautiful, puzzling and sometimes controversial images. As an Art History student you can have the opportunity to study famous artists including Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Marina Abramovic, Olafur Eliasson, Lisa Reihana, Simon Denny, and many others.
