Bachelor of Social Sciences 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 diverse employers. For instance, pairing a science degree (BSc) with legal studies (LLB) could lead to opportunities in patent law, forensic science, insurance, or various consulting fields. Dual-degree programs merging arts (BA) or social sciences (BSocSc) with other disciplines are growing in popularity among students targeting policy and research careers. The credit requirements for each study level in a combined program depend on your chosen degree pairing. Completion timelines vary based on this selection and whether you opt for full-time or part-time enrollment. Although 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.
