Become a law student

Law is suitable for those who are interested in how society works and how legal rules can influence and contribute to social development. What rights and obligations do we have as individuals and as part of society? How is rule of law ensured in our society?

Choosing to study law will teach you the legal method required to interpret and apply legal rules. This methodology will enable you to both investigate and solve legal problems and prevent them from arising. You will also learn to think critically and analytically, and will develop your oral and written communication skills.
