Overview

The study programme in the field of law combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills in orientation in the legal order and its interpretation, in the creation, implementation and application of law. Law represents an interconnected, internally structured system of generally binding norms for the functioning of human society in accordance with the principles of democracy under the rule of law. Contemporary law is characterized by polycentrism, i.e. creation in several centres and at several levels. Specifically, it concerns the national level, the level of European Union law and the level of international law.
