LLB Part I Planning

The LLB has a two-part admission process, LLB Part I and LLB Part II. Careful planning in Part I is essential to ensure you meet the requirements for consideration into Part II.

• LAW 121G is typically taken in Semester One. Passing this course allows you to progress to LAW 131 and LAW 141 in Semester Two.
• You must be active in the LLB Part I programme to enrol for LAW 131 and 141. 
• Grade requirements may change each year, so check the latest regulations before enrolling.

In addition to the three LLB Part I courses, students must enrol in five non-law courses (75 points). These courses form the foundation for your conjoint or other bachelor’s degree and may include:

• General Education courses
• Academic English Language Requirement (AELR) courses.

• All non-law courses must be university courses at bachelor's level or higher.
• The combination of Law and non-law courses in Part I forms the basis of your LawGPA, which determines eligibility for LLB Part II.
• Some non-law programmes require a Waipapa Taumata Rau (WTR) course. If you are completing another non-law degree or conjoint alongside Law, please check your other faculty's degree requirements.

When applying for LLB Part II, the following grades will not be included in your LawGPA calculation: 

• Courses graded as Pass
• Withdrawals (W) from 2023 onwards
• WTR courses

Important: If a course is graded as 'Pass' or 'Fail', you must complete an additional non-law course to meet the points requirement.

• Passed LAW 131 Legal Method and LAW 141 Legal Foundations with at least a C+ in each course
