The University of Auckland

A BA/LLB conjoint allows you to complete a BA together with an LLB in less time, and with fewer points, than it would take to complete the two degrees separately. This conjoint degree develops the skills that are essential for you to adapt and thrive in a fast-changing, globalised society. Through the study of Law, you will arm yourself with a skill set that meets the high demands of many careers, inside and outside of the legal profession. You can complement your legal study with a wide range of subjects in the humanities, social sciences, cultures and languages. Your BA/LLB study will help you to develop strong capabilities for many careers. You will develop knowledge of the law and its implications, and a sense of justice and public responsibility. Our graduates can be found practising law in New Zealand and worldwide, and pursuing the new opportunities opened up by changes and developments in society, technology and business.You can complete a Bachelor of Arts in Economics or a Bachelor of Commerce in Economics (potentially alongside another complementary major). Stage I courses deal with the broad areas of microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics is about decision-making by individual consumers and firms, and how resources are priced and allocated through markets. Macroeconomics deals with outcomes for an economy as a whole, such as employment and exchange rates. Both microeconomics and macroeconomics are concerned with how government policies and market outcomes interact.
