Conjoint degrees with Law

• Admission can be in the first year or at any point before you have passed no more than 270 points for either component degree. Continuation depends on you maintaining your academic record to a set standard.
• Admission to a conjoint programme with Law requires a higher entry standard.
• You should be able to complete your conjoint programme within five years, but with a heavier than normal load in four of the five years. There is no need to complete within the minimum timeframe, and you may wish to enrol for a more manageable load by extending the overall timeframe to five years plus one semester (or longer).
• The remaining courses for the other conjoint component can be taken in any of years 1-5, including Summer School.
• The 15 point General Education course is to be taken in any of years 1-5, including Summer School.
• Expect the BE(Hons)/LLB conjoint degree to take six years.

Apart from the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), conjoint programmes with Law comprise 405 points of Law courses, 255 points of courses from another degree, and a 15-point General Education course.

 The BE(Hons)/LLB comprises 405 points of Law courses and 420 points of Engineering courses.
