  • Double Degree Programme Ucu – School of Law
    DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAMME UCU – SCHOOL OF LAW Regulations Contents Introduction Regulations Contact details Annex A – course planner Annex B – overview of required courses Annex C – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Introduction In the Netherlands it is necessary to obtain a degree in Dutch law to qualify for the so-called “toga professions” – practicing lawyer, public prosecutor and judge. These law degrees have, what is called, “civiel effect” and consists of a legally recognized Bachelor and Master in law. University College Utrecht and the Utrecht University School of Law offer UCU students the possibility to do a double degree program (DDLL: Law and Liberal Arts & Sciences Double Degree). Students, who according to UCU regulations have met all requirements for a UCU Bachelor’s degree and all requirements set by the UU school of Law for the LLB, are awarded two fully accredited Bachelor’s degrees, a Bachelor’s Degree of Arts or Sciences, and a LLB (Bachelordiploma Rechtsgeleerdheid). It allows these students to enter a master program to obtain the required “civiel effect”. By doing both simultaneously students optimize time as well as avoid paying the high institutional tuition fee for a second bachelor’s degree program. The DDLL is a fairly unique opportunity for UCU students interested in pursuing a career in legal practice in the Netherlands and thus obtaining both degrees in four years. The four-year program encompasses 240 ECTS in course credits, of which at least 140 in law. Students spend the first two years taking required and elective courses at UCU, in which they focus on law, choosing courses from the law track.

  • What's the Difference Between the B.A. and B.S. Degree In
    What’s the Difference Between the B.A. and B.S. Degree in ES? 8.1.20 If you’re thinking about pursuing Environmental Studies (ES) at UC Santa Barbara the first important decision you have to make is choosing which degree to pursue, the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Environmental Studies. While both majors are similar in design and stress the importance of understanding the complex interrelationships between the humanities, social sciences, and natural science disciplines, having two degree options allows students maximum flexibility to choose a major that best fits their environmental interests and goals. In this document we provide a detailed comparison of the academic requirements of the B.A. and B.S. major so one can understand the differences and can make an educated decision. Given your decision will also be based on what you want to do after graduation we thought it might be helpful to also highlight just a few example career paths each degree might lead to. Just remember, no matter which major you choose, your decision should be based on what you believe will ultimately make you happy. Simply put, the B.A. degree in ES is the more interdisciplinary major, requiring a swath of introductory courses in the humanities, social, physical, and natural sciences. It stresses the importance of comprehending basic social, cultural, and scientific theories and understanding how they interact with one another and play an important part of every environmental issue. While this degree will make one science literate, the degree offers maximum flexibility to select ES electives and outside concentration courses from just about every academic discipline at UCSB, including: arts, policy, culture, languages, humanities, and economics to name just a few.

  • 2014 ADRF Supplement
    Volume 59 Number 4 December 2014 Australian Dental Journal The offi cial journal of the Australian Dental Association SPECIAL RESEARCH SUPPLEMENT Australian Dental Research Foundation ISSN 00450421 Introduction In this my fourth and final year as Chairman of the Australian Dental Research Foundation (ADRF), I am extre- mely pleased and proud to be able to provide this introduction to the Australian Dental Journal Special Research Supplement. This supplement continues to provide readers of the Australian Dental Journal with an opportunity to get an overview of the excellence that is currently being undertaken in dental research in Australia. Despite harsh economic times and the many difficulties within universities and research institutions, I am continually amazed at the dedication and commitment of the dental and oral health researchers who produce such high qual- ity research information for the profession. While this supplement only provides abstracts and a short summary of the research achieved, much of what is presented here forms the basis for more extensive publications which pro- vide the evidence base for our clinical practice. The ADRF is now more than ever focusing on supporting dental research in Australia and the evidence of the ADRF’s contribution to dental research can be seen in the range and quality of abstracts presented in this supplement. I would also like to acknowledge the enormous efforts of the ADRF Research Advisory Committee, chaired by Associate Professor Camile Farah, for the countless hours they spend not only reviewing grants, but also ensuring final reports and abstracts are presented in such high quality format for publication in this research supplement.
