Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology - 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 BInfoTech/LLB allows students to combine an interest in information technology and law.

For the first year of the double degree, students enrol in subjects offered by the Faculty of Law. In years two, three and four of the degree, students enrol exclusively in Informatics subjects. In years five and six, students enrol exclusively in Law subjects.
