This programme aims to provide a vocational, industry-focused qualification that will equip students with the basic tools, knowledge and practical techniques required to perform their functions in terms of the Criminal Procedure Act and other specific legislation that may be enforced by officials in certain job categories. Please note that this qualification does not provide direct access into the LLB, LLB (extended), BCom (Law) or the BA (Law).

The programme aims to develop non-SAPS graduates in the non- SAPS law enforcement environment, to equip them with the knowledge, tools and techniques to enable them to perform their functions in terms of the Criminal Procedure Act and other legislation which grant powers of law enforcement to certain categories of officials. Please note that this qualification does not provide direct access into the LLB, LLB (extended), BCom (Law) or the BA (Law).

This programme will enable students to combine a major in Humanities with a major in Law. This will serve as sound preparation for a student who wishes to continue with a two-year LLB thereafter. The BA (Law) provides an avenue for those who wish to position their legal education within a broad Humanities and Social Science context, with a major from disciplines such as political science, economics, psychology, French or communication studies.

This curriculum caters for students planning a career in the business, commerce or legal profession. It combines law subjects with a major in Business Management, Accounting or Economics. After completing this curriculum, the student may register for a two-year LLB degree.

The four-year undergraduate LLB is a career-focused programme that is now the standard national qualification for entrance to all branches of the legal profession. The programme is designed to ensure that graduates acquire both the legal knowledge and the skills to apply the law in practice. The Legal Skills and Practice courses provide students with some basic practical skills and an introduction to the legal work environment. In the fourth year, students may choose from a number of elective courses, allowing them to develop additional knowledge in areas such as environmental law, tax law, competition law, international humanitarian law and Moot Court. Practical experience: The faculty’s Law Clinic provides senior students with the opportunity to gain valuable practical experience by offering free legal services to members of the community. The faculty is also home to the Eastern Cape Street Law project, where students become involved in educating the public about their legal rights and responsibilities.

The extended curriculum programme for LLB studies provides alternative university access to students who have the potential to succeed, but do not meet the minimum admission requirements for the mainstream programme. The purpose of the programme is to integrate additional academic support and skills development with mainstream courses in order to prepare the student for successful completion of the LLB degree.
