LLB Conjoint programme

Comments

We decided to limit our treatment of conjoint and double degrees to a few words and a link to an existing homesite page.

The suggested exception to this is the LLB, because 80% of students do a conjoint degree. As such, it seems necessary to give more coverage to this flexibility for this degree.

I have used the major requirements section to describe the conjoint options, as the LLB doesn't have any majors. However, this section of the page is likely to be hand crafted.

• We need to state the general requirements for conjoints (at least those applicable to the LLB. See Entry and Conjoint Requirements sections above.
• Based on the graduate numbers (see comment) we will show an LLB/BA only for the MVP. We can always add more conjoint examples later.

Conjoint Requirements

For conjoint programmes consisting of the LLB and a three-year degree:

• Complete at least 660 points, of which:
  • At least 480 points from courses at 200 level or higher, 
  • A maximum of 60 points may be credited to the conjoint programme from a previously completed degree and
  • At least 180 points from courses passed at Victoria University.
• Students must meet the conjoint requirements for each component degree.
• 300-level courses may not normally be used to satisfy the major or specialisation requirements for both component degrees.
