The Bachelor of Laws with Honours is a chance for you to extend your skills and gain an edge in your career opportunities.
The first part of this degree starts with the Bachelor of Laws (LLB). There are only about 35 places for the Honours programme, so competition for selection into this degree is fierce. Selection is based on the results of your best three 200-level Law courses (LAWS 211–214). Your result for LAWS 297 may be taken into account.
If you're invited in to the Bachelor of Laws with Honours, you will spend the remainder of your study working closely with tutors and lecturers, refining your research, writing and analytical skills in a range of specialist areas.
Conjoint and double degrees
You can choose to combine your LLB(Hons) with another degree in a conjoint degree. A conjoint degree will allow you to complete the four-year LLB(Hons) and a three-year degree within five years.
Popular combinations with an LLB(Hons) are a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce or a Bachelor of Science.
Conjoint or double degrees are more intense programmes of study and we recommend you talk to an adviser about making a plan that will work for you.

Over the next two years, you'll also do two 10-point Honours seminars, the timing of which will depend on your timetable and interests.
