The Faculty of Law, established on 6 February 2021, is welcoming Bachelor of Laws (LLB) students in the 2022/2023 academic year. The Faculty offers bilingual LLB taught in English and Turkish.
The Faculty aims to raise legal professionals who are research-oriented and inquisitive, with strong analytical skills.
The undergraduate programme follows an inter-disciplinary approach. Boğaziçi University Faculty of Law students will take compulsory and elective courses from other departments such as Economics, Mathematics, and Philosophy.
The LLB program of the Faculty is designed to offer numerous elective law modules, which allow students to pursue their own path in this massively diverse field. This degree will provide law students with the route to conventional legal profession, while it will also enable them to specialise in areas of their interest such as Human Rights Law, Technology Law and Financial Law.
The undergraduate courses will be taught by Faculty members, all of whom have degrees from reputable Law Schools in Europe. With this experience, legal issues will be taught and examined not only from a Turkish law perspective but also from a comparative perspective.
