Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning is centered on fostering critical thinking, practical application, and collaborative skills among students. Projects are structured to mirror real-world legal challenges, encouraging students to develop solutions through rigorous research, analysis, and presentation.
Mini-projects are assigned throughout the curriculum, with each project lasting approximately 3-4 weeks. These projects involve case studies, policy analyses, and group presentations. Students are evaluated based on their ability to apply legal principles to complex situations and communicate findings effectively.
The final-year thesis or capstone project is a significant component of the program, lasting up to 12 weeks. Students select a topic related to their area of interest, conduct original research, and present their findings in a formal defense before a panel of faculty members and external experts.
Faculty mentors are assigned based on student interests and the relevance of their expertise to the chosen project topic. This mentorship ensures that students receive guidance throughout the research process and are supported in developing high-quality academic work.
