A bachelor’s degree is a great way to further your education and take the first step to preparing for your future career. A bachelor’s path of study can give you a more hands-on experience and may or may not restrict your course options to those directly related to your field of study. A bachelor’s degree is an internationally recognized academic achievement that is typically earned within four years, and requires a high school diploma as a prerequisite. Upon completion, bachelor’s degree holders are prepared for a wide range of work within a particular field or industry.
Just what is a Bachelor in Law? This program generally takes between four years to complete, and provides a solid educational foundation in legal practice and theory. Students in these programs are taught a wide range of material, including case studies, law changes and research. Curriculums are updated regularly due to the ever- changing nature of the subject matter.
Many students who enroll in a Bachelor in Law program do so as a means of obtaining a more advanced law degree; others use it to advance the skills necessary for work within a legal capacity that doesn’t require an actual law degree. Bachelor’s degree holders typically earn more than non-degree holders, and are often considered more qualified to work in a wider range of law-related positions.
Students who successfully complete a Bachelor in Law program are prepared for work in a wide range of legal positions. Some find work as legal assistants, paralegals, or legal secretaries, while others go on to acquire jobs that relate to legal services, government, law, and policy.

ECTS (European Credit Transfer System)
Is an important element of the Bologna process, meant to help international students make the most of their study abroad experience. Initially, the ECTS was directed towards KMIT students, as a tool for acknowledging courses and programmes they studied while abroad.

The qualifications are criterion referenced, based on the achievement of all the specified learning outcomes. To achieve a pass for a unit, learners must provide evidence to demonstrate that they have fulfilled all the learning outcomes and meet the standards specified by all assessment criteria. Judgment that the learners have successfully fulfilled the assessment criteria is made by the Assessor. The Assessor will provide an audit trail showing how the judgement of the learners’ overall achievement has been arrived at.
