I will be doing Diploma in Law at Unisa this year and I'm starting to regret it. I should have applied for LLB instead but my question is , if I'm done with my diploma am I gonna do my LLB for another three years or I will only be doing just a year ?
You will do it for a year and half
I thought it was two years and six
When you start doing LLB you will be credited with 13 modules that you did in Dip in Law than you will be left with 26 modules that you will do for 5 semesters which is 2 years and a half
@@rakhamun8624 it is because in Dip they only do 13 LLB modules
2 years and 6 months hun
I have plans for an LLM and LLD respectively. My interests for LLM and LLD are Banking Law, International Law, World Trade Law, Human Rights Law, and Constitutional Law. I don't want to be an attorney forever but I want to use the postgraduate degrees for high level government positions and/or the United Nations.
Sounds great. I want to stay in practice but I still want to pursue both LLM and LLD what is your take? Are you of the view that it will not serve any purpose on practice?
Same here il definitely do LLD

I'm not sure if postgraduate degrees in law will not serve you well in practice. I assume that Judges have postgraduate degrees. Doing postgrad should be something of your own choice and how that choice will fit into your career aspirations. But for now, since I'm seeking articles, I would hold off on postgraduate degrees till I'm done with my articles should I find them. And since you want to stay in practice, then do the postgraduate degrees in part time mode while you keep gaining valuable experience. Best of luck ❤️‼️
i'm an engineer but i'm so hungry for your content that I'm just watching
If you are interested in law you can always do your LLB and specialise in Patent Law.
I wish I studied engineering 😤
I am super excited about this! I always heard that studying for a Masters as an attorney is pointless unless you want to become an academic but surely there must be some benefit either way. Thank you for this.
@25:05 , Sis Atlegang can you share how to be more concise while being detailed. I think this applies through out a legal career from our studies to work, but it's quite a challenge for a lot of us, we are either to lengthy about what we're saying or in hopes of being brief, we don't share enough vital information and somehow we are really being "taught" how to do this
Hay Mrs Govuza I love your content I want to find out is it difficult to get articles when you are 40 with good marks and a great CV compared to a young aspiring 25 year old with the same work ethic or is age not that much of a problem in law exept 65 and older?
Good question. You can definitely find a job at that age, and a good one. They do appreciate working with people with more experience so I think you will get opportunities at the right firms 🙏🏾✨
I got my degree from Unisa and definitely not going back to study my LLM there and probably also my LLD. I think one becomes a better candidate if you get your qualification from different institutions especially if you are from Unisa, generally every institution has it's own challenges and stigmas.
i vowed never to go back to unisa honestly , i am graduating in march ,i plan on doing my masters at UCT or Wits
@@mamotsemahlatsi542 Atleast you got your graduation date , I am still waiting for my graduation date and they are definitely taking forever to audit marks they want to tell us few days before graduation aai, Unisa administration is honestly annoying it's such things that one will vow to not go back there really.
Sorry for you challenges. And yes, all institutions have their challenges. All the best for future endeavours 🥲
I also got my degree at Unisa and I am not going to do my LLM/LLD at Unisa. I completely agree 100% with your comment.
I thought I’m the only one that shares these sentiments . Definitely getting my LLM with Wits. UNISA ? Downhill 😂
Do you think different kind of LLM's are more popular for employer, like corporate for instance or tax to really make you more attractive and can it be beneficial in terms of salary negotiations?
Yes, corporate law or tax law is more specialised and appealing to the employer especially if the company is big on that
Insightful information, thank you very much. It is quite unfortunate that Unisa degree is looked down at and I think we are very wrong in that. I will substantive my argument in this way. Most people look down on kids who studied at rural schools and it is astonishing that most students who studied there flourishes in life.
The ability to can be able to absorb and internalize information got nothing to do with where one studied. There are lot of people who studied in the so called best universities and they are still found wanting when compared to students who studied at Unisa. I'm not saying that Unisa is the best but all I'm asking is that, let's be objective in our critique and come up with ways yo solve the problem if there is a problem.
Finally, let's also understand the reason why Unisa exists and the kind of people it accommodates, not everyone is able to can afford other prominent universities.
Let's build and not destroy...
I agree with you 🙏🏾💯
Hi Atlegang,
Kindly asking if you did LLM by full dissertation or by coursework, and also would you say that it matters?
Thank you.
Hello 👋🏽 I did it by coursework. For me, that was easier. 4 modules and a dissertation. I think it matters coz by coursework, you get to learn at an advanced level on a subject area of choice, whilst also doing research on a topic you have chosen
@@atleganggovuza6733 noted, thank you.👍👌
Lemme google search Cora Hoexter
Hey Atli,
Wonderful information shared once more. Thank you! 🙌

Timeline for long videos, thanks for upload
Will do 🙏🏾
Wow. The presentation is awesome, valuable, useful and encouraging. I ever thought of such. I am completing my llb and so confused where to go. I have been provisionally admitted for a Master's degree in Property Law as my best choice. I am working, intended to enroll at Law School a serve articles clerkship.
Great content & subscribed! Let us know what you think of our grad school channel. Thank you!
Please release content on prosecutors. Almost every youtuber releases content on attorneys or advocates but never on prosecutors and some of us law students wish to work as prosecutors but there isn't much information on the profession
It’s hard because I don’t know about it but I’ll get someone to talk about it 😅
@@atleganggovuza6733 That would be great, thanks for the insightful content.
Please i am with you there i would also benefit on the prosecutor information please organize someone
I initially had no aspirations of studying towards an LLM but here I am watching this video 🤣.
i so wish a miracle you guys the degree LLB to the bag
You have gained yourself a subbie, I love it here.
I jus wanna know if it'll help me get a job
And basically searching for ways to increase my chances of getting a job as an advocate
I definitely think it adds to your skill set and your attractiveness in the market. Remember everyone has an LLB. So sometimes you need something that sets you apart. Many people have LLMs, don’t get me wrong. All I’m saying is that it helps one way or another
What is the duration of LLM if you are doing it full time?
1 year
Great and informative video as always madam. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you for the video. How about law school if I get would I be special Govuza??
Oh no, don’t put it like that
So law school is what we all do to be admitted. So it’s part of being an attorney. I wouldn’t say it makes a difference, but it is a formal requirement
Is it necessary to do a PLT after graduating in Llb? And what’s the duration for law school?
It is necessary. Law school duration depends if you do it while working or full time. Full time is 6 months
What an informative video! 💯
When is the right time to apply for articles Sis Atlegang
2nd or 3rd year LLB ✨
Hi Tletle
How does one speak to you privately?
please email me Atlegangmogale@yahoo.com ☺️
Super excited can’t wait
When is the right time to apply for articles as a 3rd year law student
Apply this year
Going down the comments and I feel worried. I'm doing my first year in LLB through UNISA. I have not seen much on RUclips about people who study through UNISA. Securing articles ? Big 5? Const court ? And general experience. Do people recommend or not. Please do a video 🙊. Also can I transfer from unisa to another institution ( in terms of credits)
Hey… please transfer if you can. Check the universities website on how transfers work but this is always a great idea
Hi Zola. There are so many people doing their undergraduate degree in law straight from high school in UNISA. other have went along to open their own law firms.
Where you able to transfer??
I'm doing my 2nd year of LLB at UNISA.. Wondering if I can transfer
I really love your content.
🥲🙏🏾❤️
Nice topic, UNISA is a risky place to do an LLM, OMG you will cry.
@Kokiinieze.r it's horrible, the way you have to hunt for the supervisor it's pathetic, the lecturers don't rely to the queries you have, if they reply it will be too late.
Unisa in general is a risky place. I did my LLB there and I vowed to never go back there EVER AGAIN.
@@boitumelovanessavilakazi6226 you can say that again. The challenges there make it unbearable sometimes.
@@boitumelovanessavilakazi6226 you can definitely repeat that i also vow to never set my foot in unisa , i want to do my masters degree at UCT or Wits
I have the whole of this year to figure all of this out… I really want to take my time
