UC offers a Bachelor of Laws , which focuses on contemporary legal systems and policies.
Freedom of choice in first-year Law allows you to try various subjects before making a final decision about the degree or degrees you intend to complete. Those completing a double degree will choose non-Law courses needed for progression in their other degree.
Good grades in LAWS101 and LAWS110 are necessary to advance into second-year Law courses.
The third and fourth years are made up of optional courses in Law. These courses cover a broad range of areas including:
