The Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) program is tailored for aspiring scientists seeking postgraduate research opportunities. Combining this degree with a Bachelor of Laws allows students to merge their scientific focus with legal studies in fields like environmental law, human rights law, and healthcare law. Specializations such as Environmental Change, Psychology, or Computational Biology align particularly well with these legal disciplines. During your final year, you'll complete an independent research project, with outstanding performance potentially qualifying you for direct doctoral admission. Graduates with a BAdvSci(Hons)LLB will possess the skills to handle legal complexities in scientific research. This dual degree opens doors to diverse careers in both science and law. The University of Auckland's LLB carries significant prestige, while the BAdvSci(Hons) showcases advanced scientific expertise and research capabilities for either further study or professional application. Note that becoming a practicing lawyer requires completing an additional three-month Professional Legal Studies course after earning your LLB or LLB(Hons).
