Faculty of Law

Law opens up more than 100 professions, from the bar to the police.

The first private law faculty in Romania, established in 1990. Our professors are active lawyers, judges, and prosecutors — they know you by name and bring real cases to the classroom, not just paragraphs from the Civil Code and Criminal Code.

THE FIRST PRIVATE LAW FACULTY IN ROMANIA

The UVVG Faculty of Law was established in 1990 by the “Vasile Goldiș” University Foundation, becoming the first private law institution in the Romanian university system. Permanently accredited by law by the Romanian Parliament in 2002, the faculty has trained generations of lawyers, judges, prosecutors, legal advisors, and public officials.

In the early years, prominent professors from Cluj and Bucharest taught here: T. Drăganu, V. Hanga, I. Deleanu, M. Basarab, L. Pop, Gh. Mateuț. Today, the teaching staff consists of active practitioners from Arad — lawyers, judges, notaries, advisors — who correlate teaching with the real demands of the market.

Students have access to the “Pavel Palcu” forensics laboratory, the legal informatics laboratory, the human rights protection office, the European information and integration center, and the “Tudor Arghezi” Central Library. Practical training takes place at the Bar Association, the Arad Court, the Arad Tribunal, the Arad Prosecutor’s Office, and other partner institutions.

“Within the Faculty of Law, the emphasis is on the practical training of students, so that they can effectively apply the theoretical knowledge acquired. Practice is integrated into each year of study, from the first seminars to applied exercises and pleadings.”

Didactic activities are conducted with physical presence, in small groups, offering students the possibility of a real dialogue with the teaching staff and a fair evaluation. University staff are active professionals in the field, bringing concrete practical experience to the teaching process.

Starting with the 2023–2024 academic year, the Law study program is also available at the UVVG Baia Mare Extension, offering the same academic standards, closer to students in the north and northwest of the country.

“I urge young high school graduates from Maramureș to enroll in our programs. A familiar, warm, and friendly academic environment, experienced teaching staff — and the same diplomas as anywhere else in the country.”

“Pharmacy is not just chemistry. It is responsibility towards the one who comes to the counter with a prescription and a fear. Our students understand this before they finish their first year.”
