General Information
Başkent University Faculty of Law was established in the 1997-1998 academic year.

The language of instruction is Turkish; however, to operate in the field of international law, students must have mastered in English. Therefore, if their English is not satisfactory upon admission, they will attend the Intensive English Program for one academic year. The legal curriculum includes additional English language courses so that students may improve their competence in English language.
To be a succesfull jurist one must be master of computer and have a wide general knowledge. Therefore our in Faculty, especially in the first years of education, there are courses on general culture and computer.

The Faculty has a "moot court room" where students may debate topics of interest.
