International study model – unique and flexible

KSU Law faculty’s dean dr. Aida Kišūnaitė says “For lawyers it is very important to have a wide network of contacts. This international study programme allows to expand students network in three countries! It increases employment possibilities in the international context.

It is also important to notice that this study programme is very flexible: the student is free to choose not only the partners’ university and semester in which he/she wants to study there, but also the study subjects.

This integrated study model is very convenient from time and financial perspectives: instead of three different studies, which would last for 6 years, a student studies only 2 years. It also widens the horizons of knowledge because three different Law study programmes are integrated. Upon the completion of the studies, the student is awarded three separate diplomas from each partner university”.

Duration: 2 years (1,5 years for those who choose to study only at KSU or at KSU and the University of Nicosia).
