Successful completion of Law Honours will have further developed their legal or socio-legal analysis capabilities, ability to think critically (and originally), and research and writing skills. They will also have learned how to work independently and with a supervisor. Successful completion of Law Honours at credit level or above means students will be eligible to graduate from their LLB with Honours if their meet all the other requirements in the Honours Policy.
