Our premise is that the study of law should inculcate in students the requisite knowledge, skills and attitudes for a broad range of theories and practice areas. This proceeds from the fact that law is a contextual discipline informed by the social, economic, political and cultural context in which it operates. Indeed, law always interacts, is shaped by, and in turn shapes, the context in which it operates. This contextual nature of law will inform our teaching.

Recent changes in the national, regional and global environments justify introduction of marketing science oriented academic programs in the School of Business. These changes include the increased customer expectations especially in terms of the quality and range of goods and services; the rapid advance of micro-electronic technology which has revolutionized many of the processes by which goods and services are made available; increased competition in provision of goods and services; greater emphasis on consumer rights in terms of safety, reliability and better information; fast improvements in worldwide communication systems enabling faster flow of information between customers, suppliers, and market intermediaries; increased supra-national laws and regulations affecting business as a result of decisions made by key international organizations; and fast changing global economic and socio-political environments.
To successfully manage the above demands of the modern information technology-based economy our graduates must be appropriately empowered. Although the current MBA Program offers several marketing courses, it is primarily a conversion degree in which students from all disciplines are admitted for purposes of acquiring general management principles. The Msc Marketing is a highly specialized course which provides students with valuable breadth and depth of marketing science. The government, the industry and the academia have also expressed keen immense demand for marketing science empowered graduates.
