Overview

Key facts

Instead, Laws students at Stellenbosch University are invited to compile a curriculum from modules offered by the Faculty. Selections must meet the formal degree requirements and are subject to approval by the Faculty Board. The timetable also restricts the options available to the student, which is inevitable. While the timetable leaves room for inter-disciplinary choices, it permits student specialisation by the selection of modules within the broad areas of either Private, Mercantile, or Public Law. Take note that the degree certificate for the general LLM by coursework does not reflect an area of specialisation. A research paper must be completed in addition to the modules.
