Introduction

The JD Programme is a versatile postgraduate law degree for graduates with bachelor degrees in non-law disciplines, which potentially leads to admission into the legal profession or assuming leadership roles in various work sectors. It is a respected and internationally recognised award conferred by many universities in leading jurisdictions abroad and provides students with an intellectually enriching general education in law.

An important feature of this Programme is that it is entirely postgraduate in both form and substance. As a JD student, you will share classes only with other graduate students. You will also be able to choose from a wide range of exciting electives.
