BA/BS in Law

Ilisimatusarfik's Law programme responds to the fast pace of legal development in Greenland, where legislation increasingly shapes everyday life, public administration and society. The degree trains lawyers able to draft clear, workable rules and see them through to implementation, meeting the growing need for legally trained staff in Greenland's self-government and municipalities. The bachelor's degree, which takes three years, focuses on public and administrative law relevant to work with government bodies, preparing graduates for legal roles either within the Self-Government or in municipal administration. Coursework includes legal history, the sociology of law, legal philosophy and legal method, with later study covering areas such as tort law. Graduates who wish to continue can progress to the related two-year master's programme. The degree is based at the Ilimmarfik campus.
