University of Namibia Bachelor of Laws degree (LL B) (Honours) Part Time
Degree
Bachelor of Laws degree (LL B) (Honours)
Introduction
The Bachelor of Law (LLB) offers predominantly subjects with substantive law content and prepares the students for specialized legal careers. The only practical subject is the Legal Aid Clinic. Including it in the final year, the faculty follows the trend worldwide where final year students are exposed to clients and prepare for litigation under supervision. The programme also has research and dissertation components. The main objectives of the programme are to inculcate in the students the capacity and ability to implement both basic theoretical and practical skills and knowledge acquired during the period of studies and to think for themselves.
Admission Criteria
A student is eligible to register for the part time programme of LL B (Honours) if he/she was awarded the degree of B Juris of
the University of Namibia, or at the end of his/her fourth year of studies for the degree of B Juris on part time at UNAM, passed
32 credits out of the 80 credits prescribed for the fourth year of registration on part time, provided that all outstanding Course s
prescribed for the first year of registration, second year of registration and third year of registration have been passed OR
passed five 88 credits out of the 136 credits prescribed for full time studies, provided that all outstanding first and second year
Course s have been passed.
Subject to the general rules for admission, applicants for admission to the LL B (Honours) programme and holding the degree
of B Juris or equivalent from Universities other than the University of Namibia may be admitted to the LL B (Honours)
programme by Senate on the recommendation of the Faculty Board. Such applicants may be required to register additionally to
the Courses prescribed for the first year of registration for the LL B (Honours), for Course s of the B Juris programme not
covered in their previous studies. The number of such Course s shall not exceed three (3) or 48 credits.
Should the Faculty decide that the student has to register for more than three (3) Course s (48 credits), as prescribed in rule
above, from the Courses prescribed for the degree of B Juris, such a student shall be allowed to register only for the said
Course s after the completion of which he/she shall be admitted to the programme of the LL B (Honours).
NB: Students are advised that the LL B (Honours) degree is the qualification for admission to the JTC for the purpose of
pursuing the training programme stipulated under the Legal Practitioners Act, 15 of 1995 as one of the requirements to practice
law in Namibia.
A student who registered for part time studies cannot change to full time studies during the course of the year of registration.
