About the programme

The Master's Degree Program in legislative studies is guided by the need to provide in-depth training in the theory and practice of lawmaking. The idea is to bring greater intellectual depth and breadth to the Programme so that candidates would not only be technically qualified persons, they would also be effective policy advisors to their Governments.

About the programme

This programme aims to provide an enduring source of knowledge of Constitutional Law in all ramifications. The philosophy of the programme is to develop highly skilled research-oriented lawyers and lawmakers for the public and private sectors that would positively impact Constitutionalism and Constitutional Development.

The Master’s Degree in Constitutional Development and Constitutional Law aims at enabling the acquisition of methodological training to rigorously and efficiently carry out Legal Research. As it would serve a purpose, which Master of Law (LLM) does not, it focuses largely on constitutionalism, spiced by courses that are overwhelmingly relevant to achieving the set objectives.
