Bachelor of Laws Entry Requirements

The mission statement for UC’s Te Kura Ture | School of Law is ‘the internationally recognised, professionally relevant, community focused Law School’.



Students gain a professional degree of outstanding quality in four years. In addition, Bachelor of Laws (LLB) students deal with real people with real problems as part of the innovative clinical studies programme at UC. Our students hone critical practical skills in the process of helping the community.

Entry requirements

Admission to UC with University Entrance (or equivalent) is required to enrol.

Students with English as an additional language are also required to meet UC’s English language requirements.

For information on the enrolment process, please see how to apply for undergraduate qualifications.



Recommended preparation

The study of Law does not require a background in any specific subject at secondary school, and entry to the first year of the LLB is open to all students with University Entrance.

You will need to have good reading, writing, and analytical skills. Subjects such as English, drama, economics, te reo Māori, languages, history, and classical studies are useful preparation.
