Details

The Bachelor of Laws (Extended Programme) at UFH provides an additional year of academic support for students who show potential for law study but require a stronger academic foundation before entering the mainstream LLB programme. This pathway is particularly important in South Africa's transformation of the legal profession, providing access to legal education for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Graduates complete the same professional qualification as mainstream students and are equally qualified to pursue careers across South Africa's legal sector.
