Institute of Legal Communication in Foreign Languages

The Institute of Legal Communication in Foreign Languages (“the Institute”) provides the law students with specialised courses of foreign languages in various modules. The dominant position within the courses offered by the Institute is held by Legal English the courses of which are taught in six consecutive semesters.

Students in all forms of study gain the basic knowledge of legal terminology while taking the selective compulsory courses of Legal English Terminology, Stylistics of English Legal Texts and finally Translation courses.

In addition to English, our Institute also offers the courses of Legal German and French. These courses are offered within the entire bachelor's degree programme. The names of the courses copy their English version. Apart from the aforementioned courses, the Institute also offers elective courses of Introduction into Legal Spanish and Basics of Russian Legal Terminology to daily students in the course of their Bc. study offerd in Summer semester and the course of Stylistics and Rhetoric which is offered to both daily and external students in the course of their Bc. study.

Members of the Institute also teach courses in the joint study programme called Economics and Law.

The Institute also provides the Ph.D. students, both internal and external ones, with the courses of Legal Terminology in Foreign Language I, II and III. The Institute is an authorised certification centre which offers students a possibility to take language exams in Legal English and thus obtain an internationally recognised certificates TOLES Foundation, TOLES Higher and TOLES Advanced. 

The aim of providing our students with foreign language courses is firstly to prepare them for being able to take specialised courses taught in foreign language in the following years of their studies and also to increase their chances in labour market.
