How long does it take to become a lawyer in university of cape town?

The University of Cape Town (UCT) doesn't have a single "lawyer" degree. Becoming a lawyer in South Africa requires completing an LLB (Bachelor of Laws) degree, followed by practical legal training (pupillage or articles).

The LLB at UCT is a four-year undergraduate degree. After that, you'll need to complete at least a further two years of practical legal training.

Therefore, the total time to become a lawyer after starting at UCT is typically six years.
