About the Programme

The qualification is designed for learners who want to understand how law operates in practice, within real commercial and organisational contexts, rather than in isolation from business realities.

This BCom in Law is ideal for students who want to operate at the intersection of law and business, as well as for those who intend to continue their studies toward becoming attorneys or advocates. It is particularly well suited to learners who aspire to careers in business leadership, compliance, risk, governance, regulation, or in-house legal advisory roles, and to those who plan to work in corporate, financial, entrepreneurial, or public-sector environments where legal insight is essential. The qualification is suited to students who intend to pursue further legal studies, such as an LLB, and who want to develop a strong foundation in legal reasoning, case analysis, and statutory interpretation. Graduates are equipped to navigate complex legal and business environments with confidence, critical thinking, and ethical awareness, whether their future lies in the boardroom, the courtroom, or further academic study.

Distance Learning

DL is our more traditional, flexible study mode designed for independent learners who prefer minimal online engagement.
Students in this mode primarily rely on textbooks and study guides, with access to supplementary online resources via our learning platform. DL supports self-paced learning and is ideal for students with limited internet connectivity or those who prefer offline study. While lecturer support is available, interaction is less frequent compared to other modes, allowing students to manage their time and progress independently.
