A BProp/LLB(Hons) conjoint allows you to complete a BProp and the LLB(Hons) in less time, and with fewer points, than it would take to complete the two degrees separately.
Our graduates are armed with a skill set that meets the high demands of any legal career. We offer opportunities to gain knowledge of the law and its implications, analytical and research skills, social appreciation, a sense of public responsibility and communication skills.
In your first year of a BProp you will complete core business courses, which will become the building blocks for your degree.
The second and third years comprise more specialised Property courses, including Valuation, Finance and Investment, Economics, Land Use Planning and Controls, Marketing, Management, and Building Construction.
The degree fulfils the academic requirements for membership of professional bodies such as:
- The Valuers Registration Board
- The Property Institute of New Zealand
- The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand
- The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (UK)
Where could this programme take you?
BProp/LLB(Hons) conjoint graduates are well-positioned for a wide range of careers in property and law. An honours degree from the University of Auckland Law School is well-respected. In addition to the transferable skills and knowledge gained from the LLB programme, honours graduates will have demonstrated advanced research and writing skills. This will increase their suitability for a range of research and policy jobs. The conjoint BProp/LLB degree offers a sound background for work as a specialist legal adviser or as a manager within the property industry. In addition to the legal skills and knowledge gained from the LLB degree, students graduate with understanding of property valuation, investment, management and marketing.
