Our Programmes

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PhD) in Law
The format and submission of theses shall be in conformity with guidelines laid down by the School of Postgraduate Studies

MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY (M.Phil/PhD) PROGRAMME
The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Law is founded on the philosophy that the quest for further and higher education should be within the reach of not only the excellent student but also for students who failed to obtain the score required to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Law degree upon the completion of the Master of Laws (LL.M) programme.

MASTER OF LAWS (LL.M)
A candidate for the LL.M degree must be a holder of an LL.B or its equivalent from a university approved by University of Benin Senate.

MASTERS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW AND SECURITY (MILS)
The M.I.L.S. degree will be a multidisciplinary Master’s Programme to equip professionals with advance training in International Law and International Security.
Meet our Lecturers
PG Lecturers
As the Faculty continues to maintain its pride of place in the legal education sector, the lecturers are here to help you excel. Please, feel free to approach them with your academic and social problems. Even where they are unable to help you solve them, they will be willing to ensure the problems do not overwhelm you. They will assist you to cope ably.
Since no faculty of law anywhere in the world can teach all the legal knowledge required in the classroom, you are advised to thoroughly use the law library. This is because, the law is only partially in your lecturers brain; the bulk of the legal knowledge you are required to know during your tenure can also be sourced from law reports, journals and texts which are inexhaustive in the law library. Our goal in the faculty is to ensure that you acquire not only legal knowledge for practical value, but much more to acquire training in legal thinking and this you can only achieve if you apply yourself diligently to the use of the library.
