The Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) is tailored for aspiring scientists seeking postgraduate research opportunities. This program allows you to pair your scientific focus with legal studies through a conjoint degree with the Bachelor of Laws, covering fields like environmental law, human rights law, and healthcare law. Specializations such as Environmental Change, Psychology, or Computational Biology align well with these legal disciplines. Your final year will involve an independent research project, and outstanding academic performance may qualify you for direct entry into doctoral programs. Graduates of the BAdvSci(Hons)LLB program gain expertise 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 strong recognition, while the BAdvSci(Hons) showcases advanced scientific knowledge and research capabilities for further study or professional application. Note that becoming a barrister and solicitor requires completing a three-month Professional Legal Studies course after earning your LLB or LLB(Hons).
