LLB Law

The LLB Law at Presbyterian University is a first degree in law that equips you with legal knowledge and thinking skills. It is a less competitive entry among law programmes, making it a practical option for many SHS leavers. This guide explains what the programme covers, the entry expectations, and the career paths available to graduates.

What studying law involves

A law degree typically covers the foundational subjects of the legal system, including constitutional law, criminal law, contract law, and tort law. You'll learn how to read and interpret legislation and case law, and how to construct and evaluate legal arguments. The programme builds strong skills in research, analysis, and clear writing, which are valuable in many professions.

Getting a place on this programme

Entry to this LLB programme is less competitive than many other law degrees in Ghana. To apply, you need to meet the published WASSCE aggregate requirement and have the required subjects, as set out by the university. The programme is offered at the Kumasi Campus, so you'll study in one of Ghana's major cities.

What you can do with this degree

Most law graduates go on to become lawyers after completing professional training at the Ghana School of Law. Others move directly into roles such as legal officers in companies, paralegals, compliance officers, or government agencies. The analytical and communication skills from a law degree also open doors in business, journalism, and public administration.
