Law

The existence of fair and democratic rules and regulations and the principle of the supremacy of the law are essential to the concept of the rule of law. The preservation and the maintenance of the principles of law depend primarily on providing students with an adequate and qualified legal education. Today’s world requires highly qualified lawyers equipped with a sufficient degree of communication skills in foreign languages and who will practice law in a way to best realize a just and democratic society.

Relevant to one of its prominent goals to have internationally qualified law graduates, UMK provides students with a wide range of English-medium courses. Before the beginning of undergraduate law education, students are required to take and pass an English proficiency exam to determine their English proficiency level. Students lacking sufficient language skills are required to attend the general English education at the English Preparatory School. In addition, students must attend professional English courses in every semester of their legal education. With the latter, students not only reinforce and improve the English language skills they have acquired at the Preparatory School, but also achieve a satisfactory and competent level for using English language in their professional lives.
