Details

The BA in Law at Stellenbosch University is an interfaculty programme combining modules from the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, enriching students' understanding of human behaviour, language, and social context alongside a foundation in South African law. The degree develops critical thinking, communication, and analytical skills that are valuable across law, public administration, media, and civil society. It provides direct entry to the two-year LLB, which must be completed before practising as a legal professional in South Africa. National Benchmark Tests (NBT AQL) are required for 2027 admission, with 55 places available.
