Bachelor of Science / Bachelor of Laws Conjoint - Environmental Physics

The University of Auckland

A BSc/LLB conjoint allows you to complete a BSc and LLB in less time, and with fewer points, than it would take to complete the two degrees separately. Scientists are exploring and addressing challenges confronting society in the 21st century, and today’s lawmakers are underpinning these discoveries with legislation on climate change, genetics, biotechnology and much more. As new developments continuously push the frontiers of what we know and understand about the world, there’s an increasing demand for legal professionals with expertise in science – and scientists who have the confidence to navigate the complex legal processes associated with their research. Once you become a student at the University, you can get help with planning and developing your career from Career Development and Employability Services.Environmental Physics is the study of the Earth and environment using Physics and Mathematics. Graduates can expect to find employment researching global processes such as plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, the oceans, atmosphere and climate. They can also become explorers for natural resources, looking for oil, minerals and groundwater, and help to monitor and manage environmental problems including natural hazards such as earthquakes, climate change and pollution.
