Law and Criminal Justice qualifications

UC's Bachelor of Laws degree is internationally recognised. This four-year degree includes compulsory 100 and 200-level courses that provide a solid background in core legal knowledge and skills. We also offer optional 300-level courses that enable you to focus on areas of law or study it more broadly. Learn more about our Bachelor of Laws (LLB).

UC's unique undergraduate degree in criminal justice, the Bachelor of Criminal Justice (BCJ), is the first of its kind in New Zealand. Undergraduate students can also do the much shorter Certificate in Criminal Justice.

Our graduate programmes include the Graduate Diploma in Criminal Justice and Master of Criminal Justice.

Postgraduate study opens up a wealth of opportunities for our graduates. If you're after a career in policy, politics, or government, a postgraduate qualification is largely essential. Working overseas is also difficult without a postgraduate qualification. Learn more about graduate and postgraduate Law or Criminal justice options at UC.
