If you have a strong interest in commercial and economic disciplines and eventually would like to practice law in one of these fields, it is recommended to first enrol for a BCom (Law) degree, followed by an LLB degree. To excel in this programme, prospective students should possess the required aptitude, passion and skills for commercial, economical, numeracy and mathematical disciplines.
The BCom (Law) degree, followed by an LLB degree, offers a combination of BCom and law subjects with the aim of preparing students for the law profession, with a broad commercial academic background and providing an alternative route to the eventual attainment of an LLB degree. The combination of BCom (Law) and LLB degrees is highly recommended for students that have a dual interest in business and law. The BCom (Law) degree allows one to pursue other options upon completion, depending on specific career goals and legal fields.
