The University for Development Studies (UDS), will introduce a Bachelor of Law Degree programme in the 2015/16 academic year, to expand legal education to the Northern Regions.
Dr Daniel Bagah, Dean of the School of Business and Law, told the Ghana News Agency in Tamale on Tuesday that a draft proposal had been submitted to the National Council for Tertiary Education Committee (NCTEC) for approval, after which accreditation would be sought for the Bachelor of Law programme.
He indicated that it would be mounting BA in Law and Business Studies and BSC in Law and Development Studies in the next academic year, noting that the two are among four new courses being introduced in the University.
Dr Bagah was speaking to GNA on the sidelines of the UDS, signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Professor Wayne Dunn of the Corporate Social Responsibility Training Institute (CSRTI).
The CSR Training Institute is collaborating with the UDS to design training programmes that would imbibe corporate social responsibility values in individuals and organizations, to ensure the achievement of some targeted goals.
The MOU, among other aims, is to develop certificates and post-graduate and PhD programmes in the field of corporate social responsibility.
