UCT Open Day – find out about studying Law at UCT
Where is the UCT Faculty of Law’s Open Day?
While UCT Open Day 2025 is taking place mainly on upper campus, the Faculty of Law will be opening its doors to you at our home building on middle campus. In addition to having staff and students on board to chat to you and answer your questions, we will be offering a session with the Dean of Law who will tell you all about studying at UCT for your LLB degree; our Deputy Dean (Undergraduate Studies) will explain the basics of the LLB degree; our Faculty Office colleagues will answer all your questions about the LLB; and you will hear our Law Students' Council talk about life as a UCT Law student, and all the things that are great about UCT!
The full UCT Open Day 2025 programme is available on the Applicants & Students website, along with a downloadable map of UCT campuses.
Can I already start my application?
In the meantime, if you know that Law is one of the degrees you would like to apply for, there is no time like the present, so head over to UCT’s Applications platform where you can submit your application online.
Where can I find information before the Open Day about applying to UCT to study Law?
We have provided loads of information for you about applying to study Law, so have a look at our Applying to UCT Law page for videos, general information about applying, and specific information (see the Choose Law booklet available in an easy pdf download).
Please note: applications for study in 2026 are open from 1 April until 31 July 2025, so don’t delay – no late applications are accepted.
UCT has made a series of Day in the Life videos, so if you want to gain some idea of what it’s like being a Law student at UCT, watch this great short video.
Where is Kramer Law Building?
Kramer Law, the home of the top Law School on the continent, is based in the Wilfred & Jules Kramer Building on UCT’s Middle Campus. To find the Kramer Law Building, go from the Main Road (M4) in Rondebosch, up Woolsack Drive towards the mountain. When you reach the set of traffic lights just before the M3 turn-off, go left into Cross Campus Road and keep walking or driving until you see the Faculty of Law building. We are in the last building before you reach Stanley Road.
