8. I am studying Law at another university – can I transfer to UCT?

Transferring students need to follow the same application process as first-time

applicants to UCT for the LLB.

A UCT student in good academic standing may apply to transfer to the LLB degree,
but must satisfy the requirements for admission to the LLB with their matric and NBT
results. Successful applicants may be granted credit or exemption or both for
courses already completed, up to a maximum of four full courses (or the equivalent).

A non-UCT student who has NOT been excluded from another university may apply
to transfer to UCT as an LLB student but must satisfy the requirements for admission
to the LLB with their matric and NBT results (note: while NBT results were waived for
applications for 2021, applicants for study in 2022 must write the NBTs). Successful
applicants may be granted credit or exemption or both for courses already
completed, up to a maximum of four full courses (or the equivalent).
Credit and exemption will only be granted for courses taken at another institution if
the Faculty is satisfied that the courses are substantially equivalent, in both content
and standard, to the courses offered at UCT. Such transferring students will be
required to complete the remaining courses prescribed for the LLB at this University
over a period of not less than two years.

For more information, contact the Law Faculty Office on law-studies@uct.ac.za.

4. Do I have to take the NBTs to apply to UCT Law?

To apply to UCT for any undergraduate programmes, you will need to write the
NBTs. For more info, go
to http://www.students.uct.ac.za/students/applications/admission-requirements/
national-benchmark-tests and look for updates. For 2024 applications, the latest you
can take the tests and still have time to submit as part of your application is October
2023. Have a look at the NBT site for more detailed information on test dates, how to
book and where to write.
