The last 3 are combined degrees. They are slightly longer than the straight B Law degree, however, at the end of each of them you will still be recognised with a law degree. With the double degree, you will be recognised for both - even if they are actually on the same piece of paper.
Each uni might study law different - look at each of the uni if you want details.

I'm pretty sure the B Laws course is the same in each combined degree. I'm not sure about which university you're going to, but my university teaches the Legal System, Torts and Contracts in the first year, I'm unsure about the rest of the five years.

They are combined degrees. You combine a Law Degree with another degree

It is not a mixed degree. You do two separate degrees and get two different degrees at the end of your five years. People will do two degrees if they compliment each other and to get a better chance of getting a job that someone with just the single degree.
.This combination does compliment each other but i don't see how science and law combines.
The science and law degree fall in second category because the person will have two fields to enter?Originally posted by Merethrond

For example? Sorry i'm a newbie to the uni courses. How can you combine science and law?

What
? I don't think this makes sense.You can combine most degrees. If it is available in the UAC book you can combine the degrees
.Sorry, i meant falls into the second category of having more job options. Edited now.Originally posted by Merethrond

What i mean is, how can you combine them in occupation. They don't mix.Originally posted by Merethrond

bundy for me
having a legal background (ie. studying law) will help you no matter what field you end up studying or working in... think about it, there are laws which apply to all areas of life and all fields of work, so studying law will help you wherever you might end up
does that make sense?

Cyberlaw for example - if you studied law and know nothing about the internet and computers, you'd certainly be left out in a new and growing breed of crime and law.
Having studied computer science and law for example, can give you the best of both worlds.

Basically, people with combined law degrees have two options.
a) become a practicioner in your other field (eg scientist) with a strong legal background.
b) become a legal consultant for a company in your other degree's industry (eg 3M for science). This way you have knowledge of both the law and the particular field to which you are appying it, and can give more solid industry-specific advice.

Oh, i'm getting it. How about this. If your a dedicated science person, and you intend to do science for life by being some scientist, wouldn't the law knowledge be necessarily redundant. Like all you need to know is basic stuff like how to release documents, publication of theories , knowing how to proper purchases chemicals, etc. Its not like you need to be able to defend yourself in court if you get sued for stealing someone's work.
So my impression now is that double degrees are only for those who intend to be flexible, or wants a profession that stands a line between two fields(like the legal consultant for a company given as an example). If you totally want to dedicate to one field, the other is degree is useless right?

I would say so. If you want to really specialise in a particular field there is no point in having more than one degree. It really depends on what career you want. For example, if you wanted to be a researcher in a particular field of science I believe there would be no point in getting a Law degree.

That's not necessarily true. You said you would not need to defend yourself in court against an accusation of stealing work right? However, chances are that you will need this kind of knowledge.
Yes, total dedication to a single field means you don't "need" the second degree, but for things like Law that other degree will never be totally useless. As long as there is some relevance in the other degree it has the potential to prove very important.

However, if you did need to defend yourself in court, wouldn't you want someone to defend you who specialised in Civil Law, not yourself, who only knew general Law
?In my opinion, you would only want a Law degree in Science if you doing something and wanted to know the legal implications of what you were doing

well for science, you could get something like a BEngineering/ B Laws, which will enable you to work with patents and stuff like that.
B Aviation/ B Laws is obvious.....laws about sea and air apply to this industry and having a background to the workings of the aviation industry is important.
B Comm/ B Laws is really helpful, daily dealings with the law are obvious with this combined degree
B Communications/ B Laws.....media and the law
B Computer Science/ B Laws...E- crime....etcetcetc
