Law as a social science provides very good general education and encompasses a wide array of occupations. Our former students work not only in judiciary as lawyers, judges or state attorneys, but also in state administration, education, private sector, diplomacy, EU institutions, non-government or international associations.
Our research and teaching staff is very young. The Faculty of Law helps its teachers' professional development by encouraging outgoing mobility, study visits and training at renowned foreign institutions as well as by introducing mandatory pedagogical-psychological and methodical-didactic training. We involve successful entrepreneurs into our teaching process (each year we organise guest visits of successful business people, enabling them to share their experiences as part of lectures and workshops at the Faculty), provide access to international databases, purchase books and all other prerequisites for quality scientific and teaching development, give students the opportunity to rate us and we publically praise the best among us while helping those less successful to improve.
With regular exercise which is direct insight into the practice of the courts, the legal profession and the public prosecution seeks to train students to work in practice, PFO is in collaboration with the Faculty of Economics in Osijek, launched the project Legal-economic clinics, where Senior students actively to solve practical problems of entrepreneurs. Also, the university is held a number of teaching practitioners from home and abroad in the field of civil law, civil procedure, commercial, criminal and other branches of law.
Continuous growth in the numbers of foreign students and professors who visit our faculty and stay for an entire semester as part of the ERASMUS + programme, attests to our quality. We are the only institution within the University with two EU-funded Jean Monnet chairs, providing students with the opportunity to involve in their activities and thus expand their knowledge and boost their personal growth.
Our students participate in international moot court competitions in simulated proceedings, where they have achieved enviable results! In addition to formal education, by involving in the Faculty's activities as part of the EU projects, various workshops, conferences and study visits, we provide students with opportunities to gain competences and skills that will maximise their competitiveness in the labour market. We reward excellent and highly successful students and encourage them to go further through the possibility to participate in research projects during their studies. We are a research-oriented faculty. What does that mean for you? Motivated students have a chance to take part in research projects alongside their teachers during studies, but publication in the academic journal can only be offered to the best of them. Perhaps you're next?
