School of Law

Kozminski University is a leading non public University in Europe. Operating since 1993 and holding full academic rights, the University’s strong international position is confirmed by prestigious rankings and accreditations. In 2025, KU was once again featured in the Financial Times European Business Schools ranking, placing 42nd in Europe and securing the position of leader in the Central and Eastern Europe region.

The School of Law utilizes innovative teaching methods that respond to the challenges of the 21st century. Faculty members are open and communicative; they employ engaging methods, utilize technological tools, inspire students, develop independence, and trigger critical thinking. They make use of, among other things, court hearing simulations, company formation simulations, pleading in arbitration proceedings, mediation, negotiation and oratory workshops, Oxford debates, story-based urban legal games, and educational workshops under the Street Law program.

A flagship project is teaching using VR technology, enabling participation in immersive simulations of court hearings, interrogations, negotiations, and mediations. These allow students to experience law in action, develop the ability to react quickly, and deepen social competencies in negotiation, argumentation, public speaking, and more. Significant complementary elements include advanced e-learning tools, moot court simulations, study visits, and educational trips to courts, law firms, public institutions, and international organizations. Such a combination of technology and practice allows students to gain real professional experience while still studying. Indeed, our ambition is to prepare graduates to shape their career paths in their dream directions and achieve strong professional positions.

Diverse teaching methods utilizing new technologies fit into the education program for young lawyers in a dynamic economic environment. They allow for learning the foundations of law and its practical applications (learning by doing) in an educational process that leverages the student's natural curiosity, strongly motivating and engaging them in acquiring knowledge and skills such as creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. They facilitate learning the analysis and interpretation of regulations, working on legal documents (preparing contracts, lawsuits, and procedural pleadings based on real-life examples), and teach how to act in accordance with professional ethics. Thanks to the involvement of practitioners, they provide an understanding of the specifics of legal professions (attorney, legal counsel, judge, prosecutor, notary public, bailiff) as well as professions for which legal knowledge is essential, including restructuring advisor, patent attorney, and tax advisor; they also prepare students for creative professions, including compliance officer, journalist, mediator, Data Protection Officer, company manager, consultant or expert in a given field of law, and sworn translator.
