8. Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Laws

The combined Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Laws is designed for students to pursue their interests in both law and music.

The combined degree is a six-year full-time (or equivalent part-time) study program administered by the Faculty of Music, with a minimum requirement of 600 points of study, 300 of which are to be completed in each faculty.
