Introduction 學系介紹

Our faculty is distinguished, our curriculum is diverse, and we offer strong career connections and generous scholarships, making it the most valuable choice for your future.

Our undergraduate program focuses on career paths instead of traditional academic groupings, allowing students to build a vision for their future careers through foundational legal courses. By selecting elective modules aligned with employment opportunities, students enhance their foundational skills and develop specialized expertise, preparing them to become well-rounded legal professionals.

Teaching Characteristics 教學特色

The curriculum of our department is designed with the goals of "diversified courses" and "integration of theory and practice." By combining elective courses from various fields and incorporating legal language courses, we aim to equip students with practical skills that span different disciplines and international borders.

In terms of teaching methods, in addition to traditional classroom lectures, we utilize approaches such as "literature/document/case analysis,""practical exercises," and "Industry Internship" based on the nature of each course. Through these approaches, students not only acquire knowledge in their chosen subjects but also develop the necessary skills and abilities concurrently.
