Program Summary
This program combines the professional Bachelor of Law (LLB) program with the Bachelor of Jurisprudence (BJuris). The BJuris degree is available either as part of the combined Jurisprudence/Law program or an "exit degree" for students who decide after admission not to proceed with an LLB degree. It is not available as a separate pass degree for admission purposes. Students wishing to graduate with a BJuris must satisfy the requirements as listed in Rule 10 of the Rules for the Award of Degrees.
The Bachelor of Jurisprudence, unlike the LLB degree, is not designed to provide a qualification for the professional practice of law. It provides a basic knowledge of law, an opportunity to study selected legal courses of special interest, and significant study in other faculties. Various combinations of non-law courses are possible and the program may be moulded to meet various vocational ends, eg for industrial officers or advocates, public servants, business executives or law librarians. Teaching methods in Law courses are the same as in the LLB program. Duration/Awards The program is a five year full-time combined program leading to the award of the two degrees of Bachelor of Jurisprudence and Bachelor of Laws (BJuris LLB). Assumed Knowledge Students must satisfy any assumed knowledge requirements (but not general Faculty assumed knowledge requirements) for courses studied in other faculties. Non-Law Courses The non-law courses shall include, unless otherwise approved, a major sequence of 42 units of credit approved by the Faculty offering the major sequence. There is an additional requirement of 12 units of credit of non-law courses. Students are required to obtain the approval of the Faculty of Law for their proposed program of non-law courses and the order in which they are to be studied. In approving such courses, the Faculty shall have regard to the contribution the study of such courses may reasonably be expected to make to the development of his or her capacity as a lawyer and understanding of the law. BJuris Candidates may be awarded the degree of Bachelor of Jurisprudence subject to satisfying the requirements as listed in Rule 10 of the Rules Award of Degrees, including satisfaction of General Education requirements for the single pass degree (12units of credit).
