The purpose of the education in the Faculty of Law is twofold. First, the students get the fundamental knowledge in various branches of social science. They are also given training for the proficiency in foreign languages. Second, we make our students acquire the basic skills for legal analysis. They additionally practice writing essay, oral presentation, discussion and negotiation.
The Faculty of Law has three educational courses: Judicial course, Public Administration course, Business and International Studies course. The number of students is not so big that they have face-to-face communication with professors and other teaching staffs. The most advanced information technology as well as millions of books and periodicals are available at the University Media Center.

Our Graduate School of Law has two educational courses. One for the students who want to further up their ability to analyse legal and political problems(Academic Course), and the other for those who want to practice law in future( Law School).
In the former course students usually engage in research works on a specific theme, and enhance thereby their capacity of legal and political analysis. Because of the small number of the students, training is performed on the base of three students a teacher. Many of the graduates of this course are now teaching law or political science in various universities.
The latter course provides students with higher level of knowledge and skills required for practicing lawyers. For this purpose we have, besides many professors with long academic carrier, some professors who are now practicing law, and provide an externship curriculum(on-the-job training at law offices). We are proud of having brought up plenty of lawyers who have highly contributed to public welfare. For more information, contact to the Law School web below.
