I studied through UNISA, started serving articles in April 23. Completed law school in June 23. Wrote and passed all 4 board examinations Aug 23. I am cruising nicely.
I cannot stress the impact and importance of this channel!! You guys really touched on matters some of us weren't even aware of.❤️💯🔥 We're here for it shame!!! Thanks to the both of you and I'm looking forward to the next one.❤️ #ATLxLAW
Thank you for the content. I am glad I found this channel after just finishing my first Semester of LLB at UNISA. As a fulltime worker in a demanding profession your videos have helped me to navigate and understand what I have gotten myself into, lol. I am enjoying my studies and feel like I am in the perfect place.
Thank you ladies for this insightful Q&A, to be honest I was one of the people who was not convinced about studying in general at UNISA. Let alone a whole LLB degree, because from all you talked about including the entire experience of studying full time at these universities we know and are used to there's so much to do and to grasp in this degree. The case files that Koketso spoke about that one has to go through, study and prepare for exams really shows that one can't do it alone and there's a lot of reading to be done hence she mentioned the coping mechanism of getting through the degree by having friends and study groups to as she said: ''Divide and conquer''. I actually love that strategy she spoke about and I really didn't see how one could cope and manage with studying via correspondence by themselves without the university's one-on-one support (be it having access to lecturers, having a sit down with them if you need help, coaching, mentoring in person on campus) and many other opportunities because it's clear that one needs a lot of support and resources to make it through. In which I believe studying full-time allows one the opportunity to do so. To an extent on the point that Koketso made on Law being hard and so, she also mentioned other professionals who were also crying about their respective industries as well but what she also mentioned that I agree with is that every job/every industry has it's own challenges but what is important is how you are able to balance and work through everything, including those challenges. I mean nothing worth having ever comes easy on this earth, I believe🤷♀ so we have to work. Nonetheless, I have taken in as much as I have listened that it really is a matter of each to their own and that circumstances are not the same as well as people's strengths and weaknesses - when it comes to studying via correspondence and studying full-time. Thank you once more. It was great 🙌❤💐 #Law #Legal
This was absolutely useful! I appreciate this channel so much! And I can’t wait for the mentorship program! 😊 Thank you to the Mother of Rainbows and Of course, Atlegang herself for this informative segment.
What if you had completed your LLB through UNISA and done an LLM at say, Rhodes or any other traditional university, at that point will it matter where you did you undergrad? And secondly, should we pay any regard to the fact that UNISA students are thrown in the deep sea and they find their own way throughout their degree, with very limited assistance from lecturers, and doesn't that make them independent thinkers as opposed to graduates who might have gone to other traditional universities?
It will not matter where you did your undergrad. On your second point, we definitely should take that into consideration but I think regardless of that fact, you will be assessed based on your ability and competence through graduate assessments which are undertaken by recruiters. If you perform as you should, and be found to be competent to take on a job, there is no reason why you can’t be employed. And marks are important regardless of your institution.
Thanks for the reply, and just to add, I think the LLB degree is hard regardless of where you do it. The student who has managed to get their degree with no lecturers should be admired. At UNISA the degree has about 40 modules, I'm now down to my last 6, and out of the 34 that I've passed I only attended 1 tutorial class, the rest I've had to read the legal material on my own and understand it to the level that is expected of me to demonstrate in the exam. Our exams are moderated by professors and examiners from the likes of Stellenboch. I dare a student who has gone to a traditional university to do their entire llb without ever going to class.
What is wrong with Unisa? I'm a final year LLB student at Unisa, after Koketso's answer to the first question, I feel so discouraged. Kgane guys what is wrong about studying at Unisa?
There really are. I wouldn’t be discouraged. But also, top 5 is not everything. There’s so much to do with your qualification. The sky is the limit ✨🙏🏾
@@kayyy02 I would advice you to join ULSA or SAWLC at unisa as extra curricular activities and also do vac work at certain law firms, you will be good.
The stigma is always there when it comes to Unisa students and how Koketso makes it sounds easy to find a job, well it isn't to find the job. The only thing that's left is... that studying at Unisa is no it, the discouragement is extreme
Loved this conversation and thank you for answering the 1st “Legal aid “ question😊 please maybe in future could you please bring ppl who have just studied BA or Bcom Law and who are in the legal field in some sort to give us some insight of what is possible,thank you Atle😊.
So agree with you guys about FET being for technical. I meet a lot of SA from other race different from me, and the most came to NZ via their FET tech qualification because they are on high demand.
This was so informative and captivating. I really appreciate the fact that someone finally addressed the question of whether it is possible to move from a small firm to a big firm . I'm currently in my second year of PVT, working in civil litigation at a boutique law firm and that's a question I would often ask myself regarding the trajectory of my career. Thank you so much for these videos and your content in general Atlegang, very encouraging and informative.
She's entitled to her own opinion but is not entirely true, Law student do secure articles and without hassle. For volunteering at law firm that is agreed.
Regarding UNISA, your information is so inaccurate. Please conduct proper research. Furthermore, there are so many reasons why people go through UNISA e.g. financial reasons, not everyone can afford to go to prestigious institutions etc. I personally went to a not so prestigious university, hold quite a snr position and am comfortable. I'm currently doing my LLB through UNISA and I do not regret..... frankly I know a lot more than other LLB students from other fancy universities. Thank you.
UNISA bcomm LLB graduate here 🙋🏾♀️ worked in big law, it’s possible.
Yes it is 🥹🙌🏽
I was at UNISA and serving my articles at a big firm… It’s possible and I hate such mindset…❤
💗definitely inspiring

It’s only a pleasure
I love Koketso, so honest and authentic. I love her perspective on being a Unisa student and your reasons for studying at Unisa.

What is wrong with Unisa?
I'm a final year LLB student at Unisa, after Koketso's answer to the first question, I feel so discouraged. Kgane guys what is wrong about studying at Unisa?
There are a lot of unisa students who are in the top 5, so don't be discouraged. Its possible
There really are. I wouldn’t be discouraged. But also, top 5 is not everything. There’s so much to do with your qualification. The sky is the limit ✨🙏🏾
@@kayyy02 I would advice you to join ULSA or SAWLC at unisa as extra curricular activities and also do vac work at certain law firms, you will be good.
@@atleganggovuza6733 But you agreed with Koketso on not hiring Unisa graduates, expand on your agreeing.
