Bachelor of Computer Science
Bachelor of Laws
Overview
Students commencing University study directly from school may enrol in a double degree course with the Bachelor of Laws. Study in another academic discipline allows students to recognise how law functions in social, economic, technical, environmental and scientific contexts. The BCompSc/LLB offers opportunities for students to undertake a specialised degree of study in computer science and law.
For the first two years of the double degree, students enrol substantially in subjects offered by the Faculty of Informatics. In the final three years of the degree, students enrol exclusively in Law subjects, including a range of law elective options.
Entry Requirements / Assumed Knowledge
For the Faculty of Law:
Assumed Knowledge: Any two units of English.
Recommended Studies: English Advanced.
