Master in LAW

Tuition comes to 17,108 USD per year.

Law is a five-year master's program taught in English at Luiss Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli, in Roma, Italy. Law is the discipline concerned with the rules, principles and institutions that govern relationships between individuals, organizations and the state, spanning areas such as civil law, criminal law, constitutional law and international law. Students typically study the structure of legal systems, legal reasoning and the interpretation of statutes and case law, alongside foundational subjects such as contracts, property, torts and public law. Coursework in a program of this length and scope commonly extends into comparative and international law, given that legal education increasingly addresses how domestic legal systems interact with international agreements, cross-border business and supranational institutions. Students generally develop skills in legal writing, argumentation and the analysis of complex legal texts, along with an understanding of how courts, legislatures and administrative bodies function in practice. Because the program is delivered in English, it is designed to prepare students for legal careers with an international dimension, alongside the standard grounding in national law required for practice. Admission is open access, and applicants are expected to hold a secondary school diploma before beginning the five-year course of study. Graduates of law programs commonly pursue careers as practicing lawyers, following qualification through the relevant national bar examination, as well as roles in corporate legal departments, international organizations, government agencies and consulting firms. Others move into judicial careers, legal academia or policy work drawing on legal training. The analytical rigor, close reading and argumentation skills developed through legal study are also transferable to roles in business, diplomacy and public administration. Studying law in English at a university in Roma offers an international orientation within Italy's legal education system.
