LLB (four-year)

   About the programme

The LLB programme aims to give you a sound grasp of all branches of jurisprudence essential for a career as a legal practitioner and various other associated careers. Before they will formally be admitted to the profession of legal practitioner, however, LLB graduates must also undergo the prescribed vocational training and pass the entrance examination set by the profession.

   Programme content

The first two years: You are required to do four law modules and two non-law subjects (at least one of the non-law subjects must be a language). In addition you do modules in Writing Skills and Information Skills. In the second year you take only one non-law module.

The last two years: The curricula are made up of law modules only. In the second semester of the fourth year, you have to select four modules, one of which may be a dissertation. Here are some of the modules you may choose from: Accounting for Law Students, Advanced Family Law, Advanced Labour Law, Arbitration, Competition Law, Immaterial Property Law, Insurance Law, International Private Law, Internet Law and Transport Law. These modules allow you to specialise to some extent.

Please note that the LLB curriculum is currently being reviewed. For further information on the LLB curriculum, see our Calendar entry.
