Overview

On completing the Law programme at the Stellenbosch University, you may either continue with postgraduate studies in law or in your major from economic and management sciences. In this way you obtain a sought-after, broader background and deeper understanding of how legal rules generally apply within society. You also acquire economic and management skills and a broader general knowledge than you would from the regular four-year LLB programme.

Quick Facts:

However, the BCom (Law) does not by itself qualify you to practise as a legal practitioner. For that you require an LLB degree as well. In fact, students who hold the BCom (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 you wish to pursue a career as a legal practitioner, you need to undergo the prescribed vocational training and pass the entrance examination set by the profession.
