University of South Africa - UNISA
speciality: Law

I highly recommend studying with Unisa, it is very convenience as it is a distance learning institution. Unisa allows students to study from anywhere, it provides accessible education with no rigid classroom attendance. The distance learning with Unisa makes it easier for those with working professionals or family commitments. Studying from a distance also saves money and time.

UNISA is a university that deals with distance learning, which means there is no attending lectures or classes, everything is done online, starting from when you receive your study materials, classes with your lectures,aasigments and exams are conducted online. you study at your time,pace and at the comfort of your home. I am on my fourth year now studying Law and honestly i would highly recommend everyone to enroll or regirester AT UNISA,you will not regret your choice.

The curriculum is extremely comprehensive compared to other curriculums for the same program in other universities in the country. The campuses are easily accessible to different demographics. The university supports diversity

Unisa provides world-class standard of education, and with their odel model, they are able to take over 340000 students at a time. Which also increases the number of qualified people within South Africa and across Africa as it also provides education to foreign students in neighbouring countries.

I really love how this university is long distance learning. It provides student with the opportunity to work while they are busy with their studies and gain skills. But because it has a very high number of students, things tend to take a while in contrast to other traditional universities. Like our exams marks take time, and issuing completion letter takes time, also the registration period is kind of a hassle.

Studying LLB at UNISA as a third-year student has been both challenging and deeply rewarding. From the start, what stood out for me was the programme’s ability to push students to become independent, disciplined, and self-motivated. Unlike a traditional classroom, distance learning requires you to take full responsibility for your own progress, which has helped me grow not just academically, but personally as well.

The flexibility that UNISA offers has been invaluable, allowing me to balance my studies with work, family responsibilities, and other commitments. At the same time, the workload is rigorous. Modules like Constitutional Law, Law of Evidence, Criminal Procedure, African Customary Law, and Family Law have required intensive reading, critical thinking, and strong analytical skills. These subjects have not only broadened my understanding of South African law but have also challenged me to think critically about the law’s impact on society and human rights—something I am deeply passionate about.

What has impressed me most is the programme’s emphasis on practical legal reasoning and research. Through assignments and case studies, I’ve developed skills in legal writing, research, and problem-solving, which I know will be essential for my future career. While administrative processes and the online portal can sometimes be frustrating, the overall experience has been formative and empowering.

UNISA has shown me that pursuing law is not just about memorizing rules, but about understanding the law’s role in shaping justice, protecting rights, and addressing societal challenges. Despite the difficulties of distance learning, I am grateful for the knowledge, discipline, and resilience I have gained. This journey has reinforced my commitment to human rights and to using my legal education to make a meaningful impact in the lives of women, children, and vulnerable communities.

Overall, studying LLB at UNISA is demanding, but it is an incredibly rewarding journey that equips students with the skills, perspective, and resilience needed to succeed in law and in life.

UNISA is a great long-distance institution of learning. It benefits those who do not want to go through traditional university. I wish they improve their school website and IT department for a swift use, to enable students to access their assessments hassle-free and timely.

University of South Africa is the best University which is best for working individuals and those who don’t want to stay at the university. University is a distance learning university. The lectures always respond to the students.

This university is being systematical destroyed by poor administration and political interference. Students are subjected to a number of sufferings created by leaders of this institution. Its online learning and examination system is ineffective due to technology applications failures.
