Conjoint Degrees
Conjoint degrees provide students with the opportunity to complete the requirements of two Bachelors degrees, concurrently, over a reduced period of time. While students are bound by the regulations governing each degree, the total number of papers required is reduced due to special cross-crediting arrangements. Both qualifications must be conferred together in order to take advantage of these special cross-crediting arrangements. Students taking an honours degree will be required to take additional papers. Approval for conjoint programmes must be obtained from both the Faculty of Law and the other faculty or school involved.
