The Faculty of Law and Administration is the oldest scientific unit at the Jagiellonian University, and its history dates back to 1364. Invariably, it maintains the highest level of education, confirmed by the highest institutional rating of the Polish Accreditation Committee, awarding the scientific A+ category in the classification of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, leading results in national rankings and the best results in legal apprenticeship exams for several years.
The Faculty of Law and Administration offers a considerable degree of latitude when it comes to study pattern: a vast catalogue of courses enables the implementation of personal development paths, attendance at classes is in most cases optional, and internships are carried out in a flexible model. The access to knowledge is facilitated – students receive, among others, free access to legal information systems, well-equipped libraries, an innovative e-learning platform, and many textbooks in electronic form.
At the Faculty, we emphasize modern teaching methods and practice: apart from lectures, we offer many practical classes, workshops, tutorials, training sessions, projects, courses, dissertation simulations, proseminars, seminars, and other classes for the comprehensive development of competencies. Although the faculty is located in the historic center of Kraków, classes are held in renovated buildings and a new teaching center with a courtroom simulation room.
Everyone interested in the international aspect of studying can take advantage of the opportunities offered by Erasmus+, SYLFF Association, Pan-European Seal Program, or the European University Una Europa. There are also over a dozen foreign law programs at our faculty – some of them allow you to obtain a double diploma. We run approximately 130 courses in foreign languages, and we cooperate with over 120 universities within Erasmus+ programme. Our students are successful and achieve high results in prestigious international competitions.
At the Faculty, we focus on comprehensive education, and we also enable development in interdisciplinary scientific and social projects. We cooperate well with business entities and we organise a series of conferences and events connecting the academic world with the socio-economic environment. Students who are particularly interested in certain fields of law can actively attend numerous students’ research clubs, most of them associated with the historical Society of Law Students' Library.
