Bachelor of Science / Bachelor of Laws Conjoint - Marine Science

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. Once you become a student at the University, you can get help with planning and developing your career from Career Development and Employability Services.Marine Science draws on a range of disciplines to advance our understanding of the functioning and management of the oceans. Marine Science is the scientific study of the oceans and combines research areas in aquaculture, coastal processes, fisheries science, marine biology, marine conservation, marine geology and oceanography to explore the marine habitat. Alongside learning about the theory of Marine Science, you will have the opportunity to develop practical skills in research design and analysis of the marine environment.
