Bachelor of Laws (LLB)
The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) is a comprehensive legal education program typically completed over three years. Students study a total of 12 subjects, taking four examinations per year. The curriculum includes a set of core compulsory modules such as Common Law Reasoning and Institutions, Contract Law, Public Law, Criminal Law, Land Law, Law of Trusts, Law of Tort, and Jurisprudence.
In addition to these core areas, students have the opportunity to choose from a range of optional subjects including Islamic Law, Company Law, Human Rights Law, Conflict of Laws, European Union Law, and Public International Law, among others—allowing them to tailor their studies to their interests and career goals.
An accelerated two-year track is also available for those who already hold an undergraduate degree, enabling them to complete the program in a shorter time frame.
