Welcome to the Faculty of Law and Political Science, and welcome to this extended family whose members, across generations, have dedicated themselves to defending rights and reinforcing the rule of law. Welcome to this academic home where knowledge flows, and where you stand alongside our distinguished alumni who continue to advocate for law and justice. Indeed, the Faculty of Law and Political Science remains a beacon of knowledge and a leading institution for legal education in Palestine for generations to come.
Today, as we celebrate three decades since our establishment in 1995, we take pride in the achievements of our Faculty: thirty years of serving our students, supporting the legal and educational sector, and contributing to society. Since its founding, the Faculty has worked tirelessly to develop its academic programs, beginning with the Bachelor of Law and expanding to Master’s programs in Public Law and Private Law, followed by specialized programs such as Criminal Law, Intellectual Property Law, International Law and Human Rights, Governance and Anti-Corruption, and Investment and Finance Law.
The Faculty has also moved beyond theoretical learning to incorporate practical training, building strong partnerships with national and international legal institutions to exchange knowledge and enhance capacities. Furthermore, we offer interdisciplinary programs such as the Bachelor of Law with a Minor in International Relations, and the Bachelor of Political Science and State Administration, designed to meet the evolving academic and professional needs of students in diplomacy, governance, and institution-building.
Our journey has culminated in the launch of two doctoral programs in Public Law and Private Law, aimed at advancing legal scholarship, strengthening research capacities, and equipping students with the expertise required to contribute to the development of the legal system and provide innovative legislative solutions.
At the Faculty of Law and Political Science, we continue to work with dedication to shape a bright and promising future.
Guided by the saying “Theory without practice is sterile,” the faculty offers a number of practical training courses. It has devoted a lot of efforts to create opportunities for cooperation between the faculty students and staff members and legal firms/institutions, at home and abroad, based on mutual exchange of experiences and advancement of capabilities.
The faculty will keep working hard to remain a source of inspiration and game changer for both students and the community.
Every new academic year, the faculty welcomes a new batch of students who have completed their high school hoping to play a role in building, developing and advancing their country. To meet students’ desires and expectations and job market needs for lawyers, the faculty has a number of academic programs in different areas of law.
The faculty embodies its activities in supporting legal knowledge through its resources: moot court and legal clinic.
