Overview

Programme Overview

A BCom/LLB conjoint allows you to complete a BCom and LLB 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.

During your BCom you will complete a set of core courses. These include an exciting two-course sequence in Business and Enterprise. This will introduce the types of choices facing entrepreneurs and managers and help you develop your academic and professional skills.

Your first-year core programme will provide a strong base from which to launch into your chosen major or majors. A double major in your BCom will enable you to gain greater breadth and increase your career options by combining two sets of courses at advanced level.
