Programme overview
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:
Programme structure
The BProp/LLB(Hons) takes 5.5 years (11 semesters) if you are studying full-time. You will need to complete 735 points, including:
- 255 points from BProp courses
- 465 points from LLB/LLB(Hons) courses
- 15 points from General Education
In your first year you will need to complete three Stage I core LLB/LLB(Hons) courses, and five Stage I courses from the BProp. You will continue to take a mix of Law courses and Property courses in each of your second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth years. You will also need to include a General Education course in one of these years.
You will need to enrol in a total of 615 points in your second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth years if you want to complete in 5.5 years (11 semesters). This is a higher load than the standard enrolment of 120 points a year. Alternatively you could enrol in 120 points in 5 years and 135 points in one year to complete in six years (12 semesters). You need to maintain a Grade Point Average of 3.5 each year to continue with your conjoint.
To complement your Property skills and knowledge, you will have the choice of a wide range of Law elective courses, including Corporate and Commercial, Public, Criminal, International, Family, and Environmental Law.
Most students need to take one or two General Education courses.
Students should also be aware of the University’s Academic English Language Requirement.
