Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The program strongly emphasizes project-based learning as a means to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students undertake mini-projects during the first four semesters, followed by a comprehensive final-year thesis or capstone project.
Mini-projects are designed to simulate real-world legal scenarios, encouraging students to apply theoretical concepts in practical situations. These projects are supervised by faculty members who guide students through research, writing, and presentation stages.
The final-year thesis allows students to explore a topic of personal interest within the field of law. They work closely with a faculty mentor to conduct original research, analyze case studies, and propose innovative solutions to contemporary legal issues.
Project selection involves a proposal submission process where students present their ideas, receive feedback from mentors, and finalize their research topics. Evaluation criteria include originality, depth of analysis, clarity of argumentation, and adherence to academic standards.
