Before entering the concurrent BESc/LLB degree program, students must have completed the first two years of the Mechanical Engineering program at Western (or equivalent). In addition to applying for the concurrent degree program through the Office of the Associate Dean - Academic of the Faculty of Engineering Science, students must also make a separate application to the Faculty of Law for admission into the LLB program. In the application to the Law School, the applicant must indicate that he or she is applying to the concurrent BESc/LLB program.

Admission Criteria

Entrance into the concurrent degree program is competitive and limited.

Admission Procedures

A student interested in the concurrent BESc/LLB program will normally apply during their second year in the Faculty of Engineering Science. Application must be made in writing to the Office of the Associate Dean - Academic of the Faculty of Engineering Science. The student must also apply to the Faculty of Law by the published deadline, normally November 1. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the separate application is submitted to the Faculty of Law. For information on the Law School application process, please contact the Law School Student Services Office (661-2111 ext. 88401). Email: lerichar@julian.uwo.ca.

Progression Requirements

If a student fails to meet the above progression requirements, the student will be required to withdraw from the concurrent program. If the student has met the progression requirements of the regular program, he or she may proceed to the next year of that program.

First Year Program

Common first year of Engineering

Second Year Program

Applied Mathematics 275, MME 202a/b, MME 204a/b, MME 213a/b, MME 258a/b, MME 259a/b, MME 273a/b, ES 211F/G, Statistical Sciences 241a/b

Third Year Program

Law 407, 410, 412, 425, 430, 477

Fourth Year Program

Applied Mathematics 375a/b, MME 303a/b, MME 307a/b, MME 385y, ES 384a/b

Law 401a/b, 403a/b, 414a/b, 438a/b

Fifth Year Program

Law 446a/b, 476a/b

Law School elective courses equalling at least 4 credit weights^* in each term. Most Law School elective courses are 3 credit weights.

^*Note: The Law School electives must include: one course in which there is a written essay worth at least 2 credit weights, one course in the field of philosophy of law or international law, a course in environmental law, and a course in law and accounting. This combination of courses together with the obligatory law courses satisfies the complimentary component of the engineering program (as required by the CEAB), i.e., it provides students with exposure to issues related to the Impact of Technology on Society, Engineering Economics and thought processes of the Humanities and Social Sciences. Some technical electives may not be offered in a given year.

Sixth Year Program

MME 425a/b, MME 450a/b,

One of: MME 419, MME 499

Law School electives totalling at least 8 credit weights in each term

^*Note: The Law School electives must include: one course in which there is a written essay worth at least 2 credit weights, one course in the field of philosophy of law or international law, a course in environmental law, and a course in law and accounting.
