The Bachelor of Commerce with Law (BCom) is a full-time 3 year degree.
If you want to work in corporate law, either for a law firm or in the legal department of large organisations, you should do a BCom(Law) with a second major in Finance, Management, Accounting, Taxation, or any other BCom major.
However, if you want to work in human rights law, family law, constitutional law, or international law, you should begin your legal studies with a BA(Law) and pair this with courses like politics, sociology, economics, or languages.
You can then complete your LLB degree over two years, with credits accrued during the undergraduate degree awarded towards your LLB.
A law degree equips you for many exciting careers in the legal profession, in industry and commerce, or in government and the diplomatic corps. Other areas include:
- Professional counselling
- Negotiation and conflict resolution
- Legal officer
- Legal, risk and compliance consultant
- Compliance officer
