Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv

The Institute of Law is the successor of the Law Faculty, which had been providing legal education since 1834. It is a teaching and research institution for all areas of law and ranks as one of the top legal schools in Ukraine.

The educational process is carried out by 16 departments with approximately 300 teaching staff. The Institute offers programs for bachelor's, master's, and PhD degrees, with a total student population of around 3,000 individuals.

The Institute of Law has an extensive network of international connections and collaborates on joint projects with universities in EU countries, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Notably, there is a Double Diploma Master's Program called "Ukrainian and European Legal Studies" in association with Mykolas Romeris University of Vilnius, Lithuania.

The Centre for European Studies is a structural unit of the Institute of Law, tasked with advancing educational and research cooperation between the Institute of Law and higher education institutions in European countries, non-governmental organizations, and European Union institutions. The Centre also aims to promote the Europeanization of legal education at the Institute of Law and the implementation of European methods in teaching legal disciplines.

This department is a UACES group member through our collaboration with USAID Justice for All Activity.

The USAID Justice for All Activity (J4A) in collaboration with the University Association for Contemporary European Studies is supporting Ukrainian law schools in their efforts to improve the teaching of EU law to help raise new generations of Ukrainian legal professionals with solid understanding of and skills to apply EU law to advance Ukraine’s integration into the EU. To this end, J4A supports Ukrainian law schools in building bridges with foreign law schools with expertise in EU law for international experience exchange and collaboration. J4A also facilitates the development of a network/community of practice composed of Ukrainian instructors of EU law and seeks to create learning and development opportunities for Ukrainian law schools and their faculty and channel them through such a network/community of practice for greater engagement, closer people-to-people contacts, and continuous improvement.
