Check if you qualify

The four-year LLB at the University of Professional Studies (UPSA) School of Law is a first degree in law. It introduces you to the principles that underpin Ghanaian and international legal systems, and builds the analytical skills that legal practice demands. Entry is less competitive than at some other law faculties in Ghana, making it a realistic option for many SHS leavers.

What you will learn on an LLB

Programmes of this kind typically cover constitutional law, criminal law, contract law, torts, property law, and administrative law. You also study legal research and writing, which teaches you how to read statutes and case law, construct arguments, and present them clearly. These skills are useful well beyond the courtroom, in any role that requires careful reasoning and precise communication.

How competitive is admission?

The LLB at UPSA School of Law is less competitive to enter than the same programme at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, which is highly competitive. That means you may have a better chance of securing a place here, but you must still meet the university's entry requirements. Check your WASSCE grades against the published requirements to see whether you are eligible.
