This program provides an opportunity to obtain two professional degrees. It allows students to add the professionally recognised Law program to the professionally accredited Planning program offered by the Faculty of the Built Environment.
The program is a seven year full-time combined program leading to the award of the two degrees of Bachelor of Planning and Bachelor of Laws (BPlan LLB).
Because the Planning program contains a percentage of open electives which can be replaced by Law courses, the combined program requires only four additional semesters of study to gain both qualifications. In general, this study is taken concurrently with the BPlan program and both can be completed in a minimum of seven years, consisting of twelve academic semesters (six years), plus two semesters of compulsory Work Experience. This compares with the five-year BPlan program, which consists of eight academic semesters and two semesters (12 months) of compulsory Work Experience.
