Details

The LLB Extended Curriculum at Nelson Mandela University is a five-year programme that provides an extended academic pathway into the legal profession for students who demonstrate potential but require additional academic preparation. The foundational year develops academic literacy, legal reasoning, and language skills necessary for success in law studies. Graduates complete the same LLB qualification as the standard programme and are eligible for admission to the South African legal profession, making this pathway especially important for students from disadvantaged educational backgrounds who aspire to careers in law.
