BA and Bachelor of Laws (Double Major) in Hamilton New Zealand | University of Waikato

Pursuing complementary degrees allows you to craft a distinctive academic path that can appeal to various employers. For instance, pairing a science degree (BSc) with legal studies (LLB) could open doors to careers in patent law, forensic science, insurance, or consulting. Dual-degree programs merging arts (BA) or social sciences (BSocSc) with other disciplines are growing in popularity among students aiming for policy or research roles. The credit requirements for each study level in a combined program vary based on your chosen degree pairing. Completion timelines differ accordingly and depend on whether you opt for full-time or part-time enrollment. Though students must adhere to each degree's regulations, cross-crediting opportunities may decrease the total course load. To benefit from these special credit arrangements, both qualifications must be pursued simultaneously and awarded together.
