Overview

The University of KwaZulu-Natal’s (UKZN’s) Part-time LLB Programme offers aspiring legal practitioners a convenient way of obtaining an undergraduate law degree through part-time study. The LLB degree is offered on a part-time basis by the School of Law, via the Centre for Extended Legal Studies (CELS), on our Howard College and Pietermaritzburg campuses and provides a flexible option for individuals who are not able to attend lectures during working hours

UKZN’s LLB degree, which is fully accredited by the Council for Higher Education, is the core qualification for legal practitioners (attorneys and advocates) and, in addition, is a valuable qualification for a wide range of other careers in business, public administration and allied fields.

Admission criteria

Admission to the program will primarily depend on academic merit:

If the applicant’s highest qualification is an NSC-Degree (i.e. Matric), we will require:
A minimum APS of 32, excluding Life Orientation;
English (Home Language) at Level 5, or English (First Additional Language) at Level 6;
Maths at Level 3 or Mathematical Literacy at Level 5;
Endorsement or University Exemption on the applicant’s Matriculation Certificate.
If you have one or more recognised tertiary qualifications, your application will be evaluated primarily on the basis of this/these qualifications, taking account of their nature, level and other relevant factors.
Relevant working experience may also be considered in appropriate cases.
