The University of Auckland

A BSc/LLB conjoint allows you to complete a BSc and LLB in less time, and with fewer points, than it would take to complete the two degrees separately. Scientists are exploring and addressing challenges confronting society in the 21st century, and today’s lawmakers are underpinning these discoveries with legislation on climate change, genetics, biotechnology and much more. As new developments continuously push the frontiers of what we know and understand about the world, there’s an increasing demand for legal professionals with expertise in science – and scientists who have the confidence to navigate the complex legal processes associated with their research.

Geographers focus on understanding the things that matter for people in their many places, and on what needs to be done to address environmental change, uneven development and social inequality on multiple scales. Geography is exciting and relevant. You’ll enjoy Geography if you’re interested in the worlds around you and want to make a positive difference. Geography addresses a wide range of contemporary challenges such as: climate change and sea-level rise, dirty rivers, uneven economic development, sustainable communities, migration, housing and health policy, urban pollution, indigenous rights, and environmental management.
