The Waikato Te Priniga - Faculty of Law provides an excellent contemporary legal education offering all of the core subjects required by the New Zealand Council of Legal Education. In delivering the LLB programme, we focus on integrating professional skills while studying law in its social context, notably addressing the Treaty of Waitangi obligations as part of our commitment to biculturalism. Our mission is to provide critical research for the public good and liberal legal education. We provide excellent academic support and interaction with faculty for international students and recent permanent residents. Our graduates are in high demand for conventional legal positions, as well as policy and law reform roles.
In addition to the core subjects, you can specialise and select from a broad range of optional papers, including: Indigenous Peoples and International Law, Public International Law, Human Rights Law, Employment Law, International Environmental Law, Family Law, Law and Information Technology, Intellectual Property, Mediation, Criminology, Treaty of Waitangi, and Maori Land Law, amongst others.
