Bachelor of Engineering - 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 BE/LLB degree allows students to recognise how law functions in technical contexts.
For the first three years of the double degree, students enrol substantially in subjects offered by the Faculty of Engineering. In the final three years of the degree, students enrol exclusively in Law subjects, including a range of law elective options.
