Applications Still Open for 2025: Postgraduate Diploma in Public Law, focusing on Local Government
In addition, you will learn basic principles of public and administrative law with an emphasis on key local government areas, such as procurement and planning. The Programme is multi-disciplinary: it focuses on local government law, but is combined with political science, economics, finance and public administration to ensure a realistic and holistic approach to all aspects of municipal governance. It also looks across South Africa’s boundaries and compares our local government system with other systems on the continent.
The PG Dip aims primarily at local government practitioners. These could be public servants, members of the legal profession, the private sector, consultants and members of civil society organisations working in local government.
