Course Overview

Offered by SOAS University of London, the BA (Hons) Law and Africa and Black Diaspora including year abroad provides a comprehensive undergraduate education in law. Based in London, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 4-year full-time structure. In an increasingly interconnected world, law is no longer the preserve of single jurisdictions as legal issues are no respecters of national borders. A SOAS Law degree addresses this need by providing our students with an educational experience that equips you with a distinctive set of skills far beyond what is offered by most traditional Law Schools. The nature of the Combined Honours degree enables you to develop a specialist niche for yourself by studying a second subject. International tuition fees are £23,780 per year, home/UK fees are £9,790 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 88% student satisfaction rating, and a 96% continuation rate.
