The Faculty of Law promotes a range of internationalisation initiatives. These differ according to the university's and Faculty's priorities, our partner institutions, the formality underpinning the initiative, who is driving the initiative, and the financial implications for the partnering institutions. A broad distinction is generally drawn between academic collaboration initiatives and student and/or staff exchange initiatives.
Collaboration Initiatives
Academic collaboration encompasses both formal and informal initiatives aimed at promoting broad academic collaboration between two Faculties/Law Schools, research groupings and/or academics at partnering institutions.

The UCT Facutly of Law holds many such partnership and collaboration agreements internationally. This page will be updated with those agreements.
Exchange Initiatives
Academic exchange initiatives take place at two levels .
- The first is through formal exchange agreements, such as those included above - concluded between the UCT Faculty of Law and other Law Faculties/Law Schools around the world.
- The second is through the Semester Study Abroad Programme for incomging students administered by UCT’s International Academic Programmes Office (IAPO), or the Semester Exchange Programme for outgoing postgraduate Law students.
