This program combines the professional Bachelor of Laws (LLB) program with the Bachelor of Jurisprudence (BJuris). The BJuris degree is available either as part of the combined Jurisprudence/Law program or an "exit degree" for students who decide after admission not to proceed with an LLB degree. It is not available as a separate pass degree for admission purposes. Students wishing to graduate with a BJuris must satisfy the requirements as listed in Rule 10 of the Rules for the Award of Degrees.

The Bachelor of Jurisprudence, unlike the LLB degree, is not designed to provide a qualification for the professional practice of law. It provides a basic knowledge of law, an opportunity to study selected legal courses of special interest, and significant study in other faculties. Various combinations of non-law courses are possible and the program may be moulded to meet various vocational ends, eg for industrial officers or advocates, public servants, business executives or law librarians. Teaching methods in Law courses are the same as in the LLB program.

Duration/Awards
The program is a five year full-time combined program leading to the award of the two degrees of Bachelor of Jurisprudence and Bachelor of Laws (BJuris LLB).
