Faculty of Law

Hello, I am Deniz ÖĞE, a 2nd-year student at Balıkesir University Law Faculty. The mission of Balıkesir University Law Faculty is to educate lawyers who are proficient in the fundamental principles of law, respectful of human rights, and embrace the principle of the rule of law with high communication skills. Balıkesir University Law Faculty is located at the Çağış Campus. Courses such as civil law, constitutional law, criminal law, law of obligations, and general provisions are taught in the law faculty. Although the courses offered generally fall within this scope, various elective courses are also provided. Law faculty graduates who have completed a 4-year undergraduate program are required to complete a 1-year internship. After completing 6 months of internship in the judiciary and 6 months of internship with a lawyer, interns obtain a lawyer's license and become lawyers. Law faculty graduates can work as independent lawyers or work as lawyers in public institutions. Upon successful completion of the relevant exams, they can serve as judges and prosecutors in the judicial system or pursue careers in A-group positions through the Public Personnel Selection Examination (KPSS). In addition to academic careers, they can also pursue careers in public notaries or legal consultancy. The reason for choosing Balıkesir University Law Faculty is the advantage of being among the first graduates of a newly established faculty. The opportunities I have benefited from the most during my studies include the competent faculty members, the library, and the social environment. After graduating from the law faculty, one of my goals is to continue my postgraduate education to consolidate my knowledge at the graduate level. My advice to students considering Balıkesir University Law Faculty is to consider the impact of the university and the department on their lives, know themselves, determine their expectations, and then make their choices. I also believe that studying in Balıkesir will provide me with more opportunities for personal development. I wish the best of luck to students preparing for university entrance exams. We welcome everyone to Balıkesir University Law Faculty.
