Details

The BA (Law) at Nelson Mandela University is a three-year degree that combines humanities and social science subjects with introductory legal modules, followed by a two-year postgraduate LLB to qualify as a lawyer. The broad humanistic foundation of the BA component — including political science, sociology, and languages — complements the legal studies and is particularly suitable for students interested in public interest law, human rights, and constitutional practice. This pathway is well-suited to South Africa's need for lawyers who understand the social dimensions of justice and can serve diverse communities.
