Bachelor of Computer Science - Bachelor of Laws
Overview
Students commencing University study directly from school must
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 three years of the double degree, students enrol
substantially in subjects offered by the Faculty of Informatics
combined with a small number of Law subjects. In the final two
years of the degree, students enrol exclusively in Law subjects,
including a range of law elective options.
