University of Szeged, Faculty of Law Where knowledge and challenge meet

Faculty of Law and Political Sciences  --  Erasmus  --  Comparative Law Program

A General Introduction to the Programme

From 2010, the Comparative Law Programme aims to facilitate a fruitful academic experience in Szeged for visiting students from abroad by offering them the opportunity of obtaining a certificate after completing courses selected from a wide range of options.
For decades, it has been a priority of the Faculty of Law at the University of Szeged to provide students with the opportunity of becoming familiar with legal systems other than that of Hungary. In today’s globalised world lawyers face the challenge of the application of an ever widening set of legal rules. Our Faculty answered this challenge by offering transnational and comparative courses of its own as well as initiating cooperation with universities from all around the world. Students at our Faculty can now choose from a variety of foreign legal programmes where they will gain in-depth knowledge of the legal systems of France, Germany and the United States with the assistance of dedicated visiting professors from the countries involved. These programmes are also open to foreign students including those participating in the Erasmus student exchange programme.
