Choosing your electives

The following may be helpful when selecting law elective courses:

What areas of the law interest you?

• Choose courses building on those you have enjoyed
• Choose courses linking to courses you have enjoyed in other degrees
• Choose courses in your particular fields of interest

What might be of most use to you?

• Are you seeking to practise in a specific area?
• Do you want a generalist degree?
• Do you want a balance of courses that are internally assessed and those with exams? 
• Are there some courses best left to your final year?

You will need to seek advice and prior approval from the Associate Dean (Academic) if you wish to take law courses from other faculties or universities and credit them to your Auckland LLB. Any courses approved should be at least Part III/Stage III or above and must relate to your law studies. Students will not normally be able to credit more than the equivalent of one year’s full-time study from courses outside the University of Auckland.

A course outline for the course you wish to take should accompany your application. Contact the Student Hubs.
