Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Dual Degree Program Bachelor of Arts
The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences offers a dual degree program (DDP) with the University of Exeter in England that leads to the awarding of two degrees 鈥� a bachelor of arts (BA) from 尤物视频 and a bachelor of laws (LLB) from the University of Exeter.
Admission Requirements
Students apply for direct admission to the DDP program selecting one of the available FASS majors. Students may be admitted directly upon entry to 尤物视频 (secondary school applicants) or indirectly upon application for internal transfer. Admission is competitive and enrollment maximums are in place based on the mutual agreement of FASS and the University of Exeter. Minimum admission requirements may vary from year to year depending upon the number of applications.
The program begins each fall term. Applicants from secondary school must apply to begin in the fall. Internal SFU applicants may apply to enter the program in any term, but must either demonstrate the feasibility of completing the DDP in six years or else acknowledge their intention to complete the DDP in more than six years. Internal SFU applicants should seek the advice of the advisor for their intended DDP major program.
DDP students who remain in good standing upon completion of 60 units at SFU will normally be automatically admitted to the University of Exeter鈥檚 LLB degree program upon application. To ensure admission to Exeter, students should complete 60 units by the end of the spring term prior to the fall in which they wish to enroll at Exeter.
Continuation Requirements
Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.0 to remain in good standing in the DDP. Students whose CGPA falls below 3.0 after completing 30 units will be placed on probation. Students on probation who do not raise their CGPA to at least a 3.0 by the conclusion of the following term will be removed from the DDP.
Program Overview
Students complete a six-year curriculum starting with 60 units of course work, as specified in the calendar entry for their declared DDP major program, over their first two years enrolled in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at SFU. Students then travel to the University of Exeter to complete the LLB degree in the subsequent three years. Students return to SFU for a sixth year to finish their BA by completing 30 units of course work, including the certificate in foundations of Canadian law. Students will receive 30 units of transfer credit from their course work at Exeter.
Canada鈥檚 National Committee on Accreditation requires that students earning an LLB and wishing to practice law in Canada meet the following requirements in order to avoid further required course work beyond the 15 units specified above upon completion of the LLB:
- All 360 units taken at the University of Exeter must be law courses.
- Students must complete the Exeter LLB program with a degree classification of 2.2 or above to meet NCA requirements.
Program Requirements
Students complete a minimum of 90 units as part of the SFU DDP program, including the certificate in foundations of Canadian law. An additional 30 units of DDP credit will be awarded upon completion of the Exeter LLB. and can be used towards completion of the SFU DDP BA program. Students must complete all requirements for the DDP BA degree program for which they have declared.
DDP students complete a modified set of WQB requirements. DDP students will have six units of B-Hum or B-Soc requirements waived, depending on their declared DDP major. In addition, course work completed at Exeter and counted as transfer credit toward the SFU BA will be considered to meet six units of undesignated Breadth and three units of B-Hum or B-Soc requirements, depending upon the student鈥檚 declared DDP major. DDP students therefore must complete the remaining WQB requirements: six units each of W, Q and B-Sci courses, and three units of B-Soc or B-Hum, depending on the student鈥檚 declared DDP major.
