The intersection between law and life sciences is an expansive one, cutting across many research areas including biotechnology, bioethics, environmental regulation, forensic science, and the protection of intellectual property. The double degree in Law and Life Science programme leverages on the strength of the Faculty of Law in the legal dimensions of these issues and the Faculty of Science depth of expertise in these areas. It will enable students to discover the broad connections between law and life sciences and acquire a broad expertise in both of these areas.

The two degree programmes in Law (LLB) and Life Sciences (BSc) was launched in AY2007-2008. The first is a 186 MC Single Honours Double Degree (with the Honours in Law). The second is a 202 MC Double Honours Double Degree (with Honours in Law and Life Sciences).

The goal of this double degree programmes is to produce graduates qualified in both Law and Life Sciences who would be qualified to pursue either law or science careers that require knowledge of both areas.
