Bachelor in Law
Education objectives
The First Cycle is the foundation of every student's legal studies. It has the following specific goals:
a) To ensure that students acquire a thorough knowledge of the main subjects and its central concepts, and to familiarise them with major theories of law (both past and contemporary);
b) To encourage an interdisciplinary, critical approach to the law as a means to understanding the complexity of legal phenomena;
c) To develop an awareness of the relative character of legal systems and their theoretical, cultural, and ideological foundations. A strong emphasis is placed on the study of other legal systems and on the comparison of the Portuguese legal order with geographically and historically distant ones.
