Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Laws Conjoint - Chinese

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.In Chinese language courses you will learn conversational Chinese (Mandarin) and develop reading ability. We emphasise speaking and listening skills. You will also learn to read and write Chinese, as well as basic translation. Your language learning will be embedded in rich cultural contexts. To complement your Chinese language courses, you can study Chinese culture, film, media, politics, history and society. These courses are taught in English. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the links between the University of Auckland and universities in Chinese-speaking locations. We also offer short-term language and culture study tours.
