University of Zululand Faculty Of Law Entry Requirement

University of Zululand Faculty Of Law Entry Requirement


The purpose of this generic LLB qualification is to assist employers, professional associations, curriculum developers and learning-programme providers, education and training bodies, accrediting bodies and moderators, and students and their families, to understand factors determining the level and nature of the LLB qualification. The term ‘generic’ is not synonymous with ‘general’.
The term generic means that the essential minimum-required outcomes and their assessment criteria have been identified in an abstract way, and are not linked to a preconceived curriculum (content).
The qualification, therefore, sets a minimum standard of outcomes with which all LLB qualifications of at least 480 credits within the ‘career-focused track’ of the NQF would have to comply for accreditation. This qualification does not seek to make all LLB degrees identical but rather to provide a framework within which providers can be innovative and stakeholder-driven in a liberated way.
Application to University of Zululand requires a National Senior Certificate (NSC) as certified by Umalusi, provided that a minimum of four recognized NSC 20-credit subjects are passed.
