Programme overview

A BProp/LLB conjoint allows you to complete a BProp and an 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.

In your first year of a BProp, you will complete core business courses, which will become the building blocks of 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 takes five years (10 semesters) if you are studying full-time. You will need to complete 675 points:

  • 255 points from BProp courses
  • 405 points from LLB courses
  • 15 points from General Education

In your first year, you will need to complete three Stage I core LLB courses, and five Stage I courses from the BProp. You will continue to take a mix of Law and Property courses in each of your second, third, fourth and fifth years. You will also need to include a General Education course in one of those years.

You could enrol in nine 15-point courses (135 points) each year if you wished to complete in five years (10 semesters). This is a higher load than the standard enrolment of 120 points a year. Alternatively you could complete in 5.5 years (11 semesters) by enrolling in 120 points per year and adding an extra 15-point course in one semester. You need to maintain a Grade Point Average of 3.5 each year to continue with your conjoint.

The LLB includes a combination of core courses and a wide range of elective courses, including Corporate and Commercial, Public, Criminal, International, Family and Environmental Law.

In your first year of studying Property you will complete compulsory core Business courses, which will become the building blocks for your degree.

The following years comprise more specialised Property courses, including Valuation, Finance and Investment, Economics, Law, Land Use Planning and Controls, Marketing, Management, and Building Construction.

In your final year, you will continue to develop your knowledge in the major areas of Property and demonstrate your learning in an applied Property project.

Most students need to take one or two General Education courses.

Students should also be aware of the University’s Academic English Language Requirement.
