The bachelor’s study program aims to prepare students with knowledge and skills towards a profession or professional license; with basic training for research work as well as general training for the labor market.

The objectives of this program consist in the acquisition of professional knowledge which is achieved through general basic education for the formation of students as future professionals to practice their activity within the judicial system as lawyer, notary, enforcement agent, prosecutor, judge, etc.

The bachelor program offers opportunities to concretize theoretical knowledge through clinical legal courses which are part of the curriculum and are lectured and demonstrated through practical case simulations by law experts in collaboration with students. Knowledge and experience gained from these courses are included in the ECTS credits.

This part of the theoretical and practical teaching is implemented by the faculty through the organization of case simulations and the direct participation of students in the institutions of the justice system, which are regulated through memoranda with relevant institutions.

The Faculty of Law at UUHP has international cooperation as one of its priorities in its development agenda. In this context, the model used for the development of this Program has been the Curricula of the Faculty of Law at the Universities of Graz, Tübingen, and Heidelberg.

Possibilities of the concrete implementation of international cooperation, e.g. through the exchange of visiting professors will be further elaborated at later stages.

In the framework of the cooperation agreements between the University of Prizren and other universities, it is intended to find respective partners of the Faculty of Law of UUHP.
