The Law Faculty is also very popular with students from Africa, especially Botswana, Nigeria, Tanzania and Namibia. In addition to the well known LLM programme in International Trade Law, a general LLM by course work is also offered, which provides students with the opportunity to construct the module component of their degree themselves, based on their particular interest.”

The course of study focuses on American and comparative systems, combating corruption, and other critical issues confronting transitional states.
