UC Faculty of Law
UC's Faculty of Law | Kaupeka Ture is one of New Zealand's leading law schools and combines academic rigour with the development of essential legal skills. We have a strong reputation in traditional areas of law and offer innovative courses investigating the ways law intersects with Antarctica, the media, the Pacific, disasters, financial technology and the area of medicine. Our Clinical Legal Education programme is unique among New Zealand law schools, providing students with valuable and practical insights into legal practice while they are still completing their legal studies.
Our unique Criminal Justice qualifications combine an in-depth theoretical grounding with a strong vocational focus, and can lead to careers in law enforcement, corrections, offender rehabilitation, working with young offenders, criminal law, security and border control.
Our welcoming and supportive staff take great pride in the achievements of our students and graduates – talk to us to find out more about studying Law and Criminal Justice in the Faculty of Law | Te Kaupeka Ture.
