Check if you qualify

The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) is a professional degree that opens the door to a career in law and beyond. At Wisconsin International University College, the programme is run by the Faculty of Law and is less competitive to enter than at some other Ghanaian universities. This page gives you a clear picture of what the study of law involves, how hard it is to get a place, and where the degree can lead.

What the study of law covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover the foundations of legal systems, including constitutional law, criminal law, contract law, and legal research methods. You develop the ability to interpret statutes and case law, construct legal arguments, and apply rules to practical problems. These skills are useful not only in legal practice but in any job that requires clear reasoning and careful communication.

How hard it is to get a place

Getting into this programme at Wisconsin International University College is less competitive than at the University of Ghana, where the same law degree is highly competitive. It is similarly less competitive at GIMPA, KAAF University College, and Pentecost University. If you have solid WASSCE results, this may be a realistic option. For the exact grades and subjects required, contact the university's admissions office.

What you can do after graduation

The most common next step after an LLB is further professional training to qualify as a lawyer, often leading to work in private practice, the public prosecutor's office, or the bench. But a law degree is also valued in corporate governance, banking, public policy, and compliance. Many law graduates work as legal advisors or compliance officers, and some go on to teach or research in law.
