The program is offered for full-time and part-time study. A full-time student may complete the program in four years.

The curriculum consists of compulsory and elective courses, each worth 6 units (with the exception of Honours Thesis, worth 12 units) and one semester in length, with 48 units per year being the standard load adopted by the University. The normal load in each semester is 24 units. The compulsory courses are designed to ensure that every student gains a sufficient grounding in the fundamental branches of the law, and the elective courses provide an opportunity to develop particular interests and to deepen understandings.
