[Call for Applications] LLM/MPhil in Multilevel Government & Local Government - 2026 intake

This one-year Masters Course equips students to understand how South African provinces and local government work, how the multilevel system of government compares to other countries on the continent and on what global theories and practices it is based.
The course comprises four modules and a research paper. Students may also apply for permission to do two modules and a mini-thesis or a full thesis, instead.
