NEWSFLASH

New in July 2005

Postgraduate students can now study for an LLM or a Diploma in Law in
an innovative programme that spans universities in two provinces in
South Africa.

In the Eastern Cape the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port
Elizabeth is offering semester-long LLM courses in the legal aspects of
international tourism and in the law of electronic transactions. These
two courses will run from July to November 2005.

Students can transfer to the University of Cape Town in February to
study E-Law II and one other option such as Environmental Law, Marine
Protection or any of the other LLM courses that run from February to
June 2006.

To obtain the LLM students must complete a minor dissertation. They can
register for this dissertation at either the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan
University or the University of Cape Town. The LLM will be awarded by
the University where a student registers for the minor dissertation.

NNMU has a unique academic specialist interest, namely Tourism Law, and
UCT has a dovetailing academic strength in its Commercial Law Dept and
its Marine and Environmental Law Institute,'comments Professor Vrancken.
'From an international student's point of view, there is the added advantage of studying in two very different physical and cultural environments.

'Port Elizabeth is the gateway to the malaria-free Eastern Cape. The
province has a rich cultural and political heritage (this is where
Nelson Mandela grew up and studied), is home to the big five
in the animal kingdom (elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo) and
is at the eastern end of the unique and world-renowned fynbos floral
kingdom (which stretches all the way to Cape Town in the west).

Both cities are seaside resorts, one larger and more cosmopolitan and
the other reputed to be much friendlier. In between lies the lush Garden
Route area, increasingly dubbed the new California'.
