Programmes
The Faculty of Law offers both an undergraduate and
postgraduate programmes. The undergraduate course is offered only
to students from territories which contribute to the Faculty. The
course is divided into 3 parts - Part I is offered at the University
of the West
Indies, Cave Hill, Mona and St. Augustine campuses and at the University
of Guyana, Turkeyen Campus. Parts II and III are offered at the
Cave Hill Campus only. (In the academic year 2000-2001 the University
entered into an agreement with the Government of
the Bahamas to offer the LL.B. programme to Bahamian students at
the College of the Bahamas for a period of three years in the first
phase.)
A student is generally required to complete each Part successfully
before being allowed to enroll for the part following. However,
very limited trailing is permitted into Parts II and III of the
programme.
The degree offered by the Faculty of Law is the LL.B. which may
be awarded in the following categories.
- First Class Honours
- Upper Second Class Honours
- Lower Second Class Honours
- Pass
Postgraduate studies in the Faculty lead to the Advanced Diploma
or the LL.M. The LL.M. is awarded on the basis of examination by
thesis or by coursework and thesis, and includes a Legislative Drafting
option and an option for Corporate and Commercial Law. The Legislative
Drafting option is open only to members of the legal profession
who are specifically nominated by their Governments. The
Ph.D. by research is also available to suitably qualified candidates.
