UP Law celebrates the latest
2024 Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings for the subject area, law, confirming its position as the best law faculty in South Africa and on the African Continent for the seventh year in a row. According to the latest rankings, released on 26 October 2023, UP Law ranks number 65 in the top 100 law schools worldwide. This represents a significant improvement on last year’s position as number 78.
The THE ranking assesses law faculties based on their performance in five pillars, including teaching, research quantity, and quality. Additionally, an assessment of the international outlook of law faculties is based on factors such as the number of international staff and students and the number of international collaborations.
UP Law is also ranked first on the African Continent in the 2023 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Subject Rankings for Law.
An elated Dean, Professor Elsabe Schoeman, thanked the UP Law community for their sustained excellence and hard work, especially in the challenging post-Covid higher education environment. She emphasised the alignment of the Faculty’s strategic goals with those of the University, amongst others, to strengthen our international profile and global engagement through research, as well as to strengthen our social responsiveness and impact on society. The Dean called on everyone to continue to focus on research that matters and to intensify transformative research-informed teaching. “UP Law is committed to tackling the most pressing issues in our society and to work towards a better world for all”, the Dean said.
