In general, graduate courses are to foster potential scholars in legal sciences. There are two courses: Master’s Course and Ph.D. Course. A graduate student is required to study further a specialized area of law. All the courses provided in the Department of Law are directed to the education of a new generation of scholars and specialists with independent research capability and international competitiveness to meet the social and educational needs.
Graduate students are required to write a thesis of their own specialty under the appropriate guidance of their advising professors. In the course of graduate studies, the following methodology is usually employed:
- study both civil law and common law in a comparative manner;
- study the basic elements of law including philosophical, social and historical background of legal phenomena;
- enhance the presentation and debating capabilities; and
- participate in the seminars and dissertation sessions open to the public.

1) At least 24 credits of graduate studies in law are required for a Master degree while 60 credits including the credits obtained in the master's degree course are necessary for a Ph.D. degree.


2) Students have to pass the qualifying examination.


3) Students have to write a thesis under the guidance of an advising professor and pass the oral dissertation before the evaluation committee.

In general, the graduate courses are established for a master's or doctoral degree in common. One difference is the broad group of studies for the master's degree course while specialized subjects are provided to the Ph.D. applicant-students.
