About the Program

Generally speaking, law organizes human behavior through a framework of norms. The study of law addresses the challenges of legislation and jurisdiction, assesses them critically and develops alternative solutions. The objective of this study program is for students to understand the basic rules of the legal system and their application. Students learn the technique of reasoning through and solving cases by applying their knowledge of legal norms and the interconnections between them. They learn this in three core areas of the law (civil, criminal and public law) and in the fundamental law-related areas (legal history, legal philosophy and methodology). Building on the above, students' knowledge of individual fields of law is deepened and enhanced; they also learn interdisciplinary and international aspects.
