Department of Law

The aim of the Department of Law is not only to train lawyers. Our goal is to cultivate a legal mindset in our students. This refers to the ability to analyze social phenomena from a legal perspective, which is a necessary skill in judicial, governmental, and business settings, as well as in everyday life. The Department of Law’s curriculum is designed to provide students with a rigorous foundation of knowledge by familiarizing them first with constitutional, civil, and criminal law before they move on to core and advanced subjects to deepen their expertise in accordance with their interests.

Jurisprudence is by no means a field that only a handful of experts can understand. It is a means through which we can solve individual problems and design what human society should look like.
