Entry to Part I

If you have achieved the New Zealand University Entrance (UE) standard, and are admitted unconditionally to another programme at the University, you will be admitted to LLB Part I.

If you are a graduate, or already enrolled in another University of Auckland bachelors degree programme, you will be admitted to LLB Part I.

Entry requirements for admission into conjoint programmes with Law are higher than those for single degree programmes.

Entry to Part II

Places in LLB Part II are limited and all applicants must go through a selection process. There is also an enrolment limit on each of the LLB Part II courses. You will be selected on the basis of academic merit. Your Part I results as well as your results from your other university courses will be used to assess whether or not you will be selected for Part II.

There is no direct entry from secondary school into LLB Part II.

To be considered for selection into LLB Part II, you need to have:

Passed LAW 121G
Passed LAW 131 and LAW 141 (or their equivalent at another New Zealand law school) with at least a C+

AND

Gained at least 75 points (or the equivalent) of non-law university degree courses.
Passed all eight courses (120 points) with an overall Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 3.0 (C+).

The minimum grade requirement mentioned may change each year.

Entry into LLB Part II will be calculated on the basis of your LawGPA. This is a specially calculated (non-standard) GPA which is used for the purpose of admission to LLB Part II. It includes grades from both your law and non-law courses.

The LawGPA required for admission will be determined by the Law Selection Committee in December year prior to admission.

The minimum LawGPA required for selection into LLB Part II can vary from year to year, depending on the number of applicants. In recent years the minimum grade required has been between a GPA of 5.0–6.7 (equivalent to a grade between a B and a B+).

Students with a LawGPA of 6.50 or higher (equivalent to a grade midway between A- and B+) will be guaranteed entry into LLB Part ll. Students with a LawGPA less than 6.50 will still be considered for selection into LLB Part ll.
