A new look at the law
The undergraduate program offered by FGV Rio Law is unique, whether in its methodology, the skillset of the professors, or the experiences and opportunities provided. The quality of the program is evident: its pedagogical approach was approved by the OAB (Brazilian Bar Association) and the MEC (Ministry of Education) with the maximum grade in all aspects.
At FGV Rio Law, students develop critical thinking, argumentation skills, and creativity, acquiring a broad view of the legal issues, with solid academic and practical foundations. We train much more than professionals of law; we create active citizens and future leaders capable of making a difference in society.
TEACHING
An innovative way to learn
No student who enrolls in the undergraduate program at 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 participate in their own education by specializing in professional tracks, enjoying additional training, or completing disciplines abroad.
