Overview

The three-year Law programme at the Stellenbosch University provides a twofold benefit, however: It enriches your understanding of human behaviour and social issues, while it lays an excellent foundation for a more advanced study of law. In fact, students who hold the BA (Law) degree will be exempted from the first two years of the four-year LLB programme. These students may join the LLB programme for its last two years, and can obtain the LLB degree after two years should they wish to pursue a career as a legal practitioner.

Quick Facts:

The BA (Law) programme is compiled in such a way that you take law modules in each year of study and a number of non-law modules.
