Dr. Miklósné Dr. Andrea Zakar, Head of the Institute of International Studies and Social Sciences gave her farewell speech to the students:
“There were some hard tasks in the course of your studies: preparation for difficult exams and the Vis moot competition – BUT despite all these challenges, you completed this part of journey with great achievements and (we hope) with beautiful memories.”
This year we were able to give 3 students their well-deserved LL.M degree, with this achievement by our students we are proud to say that overall, 34 students has now acquired European and International Business Law degrees from our university.
Even though the Faculty of Law in our university has a smaller number of students, it enables the faculty to excel in a different way. For example, it creates the opportunity to listen to practical classes and seminars in small groups, which helps to learn the course material more effectively, nurture talent and establish a direct teacher-student relationship. Compared to the number of students, the number of special dormitories and optional courses offered is extensive, which provides a sufficiently broad opportunity to satisfy the diverse interests of the students, as well as to present novelties following the changes of the modern world.
