Undergraduate

No student who enrolls in the undergraduate course from FGV Rio Law is the same, and no one has the same professional goals. Based on this premise, our curriculum is divided into two stages. The first stage, taken full-time, provides solid basic training in all essential areas of Law combined with the practical disciplines (field projects). The second stage, taken part-time, is entirely dedicated to elective disciplines, so that students can be the best professionals in the area of law they desire. In this second stage, students can actively participating in their own education by specializing in professional tracks, enjoying additional training, or completing disciplines abroad.

The faculty of FGV Rio Law is one of the main reasons for making the school a reference in Brazil and the world. Teaching professionals are renowned PhD holders, masters, and researchers who combine academic knowledge with market experience. Thus, students have the best of both the theoretical and practical universes, being fully prepared for challenges in the career.

Field Projects are academic activities that enable students to develop practical skills, in a multidisciplinary way and with an impact on the external community. Here, the student learns to solve real problems in projects related to the disciplines of the course.

Academic mentoring seeks to establish dialogue and guidance between student and professor, researcher, or former student inserted in the labor market, for the joint planning of actions that seek the maximum achievement of the course, personal satisfaction, and expansion of professional career prospects.

The main differential in the legal practice at FGV Rio de Janeiro Law School is the legal practice clinics model, through which students handle real and complex cases, supervised by qualified professionals.

The world is increasingly connected, and professionals need knowledge that goes beyond their field of education, becoming fully capable and prepared for the challenges of the labor market. It is precisely with this focus that FGV Rio de Janeiro Law School offers Double Degree and Complementary Education programs to its students.

High School students, from public and private schools, can participate in FGV Rio Law Experience, which aims to introduce the main disciplines of Law to those considering taking the course. The initiative allows students to learn about the school and to have contact with its faculty.

The Winter Course is aimed at Law students from other institutions of higher education, providing an opportunity for students from universities all over Brazil to experience some of the differentials of our program.
