The Faculty of Law at the University of Pretoria strives to be an internationally recognised leader in socially relevant legal research and education in South Africa and the world. In pursuing its vision, the Faculty’s mission is the creation and sustenance of a research and education environment that is grounded in the values of social justice and excellence. We have the necessary structures and systems in place to ensure that our graduates have the guidance and support to graduate on time.

The Faculty is currently resourced with over 66 dedicated full-time academics, of which over 70%  have doctoral degrees in various fields of law, enabling them to prepare our student community for various law-related career opportunities. The Faculty prepares our students to become bespoke jurists and leaders of their communities where they can promote social justice effectively. It has a vibrant student life and active student bodies which pursue the rule of law through excellence.
