Introduction
The International Class Program is the Faculty of Law of Syiah Kuala University (SKU)’s commitment to producing competent legal professionals who are well-equipped to engage in a globalized, liberalized, and interconnected world. The ICP curriculum has been specifically tailored to not only a comprehensive understanding of legal theories but also an array of skill-related expertise necessary for both legal practitioners and scholars.
The ICP of the Faculty of Law, SKU is located in Aceh province, Indonesia, established in 2005, was initially supported by Nuffic (Netherland Institute for International Cooperation in Higher Education), as the consequence of a new hope to develop a better legal education facing global challenges, post the peace agreement (MoU Helsinki 2005) and massive earthquake along with tsunami in 2004.
The ICP demonstrates a student-centered approach and at the end of the study, the students have to complete their thesis in English. The program provides supporting staff to assist the student’s thesis in the technical writing aspect. Furthermore, the students are encouraged to attend an internship program during their studies, whether in Indonesia or overseas. Students that willing to do an internship at the other relevant institutions are also welcome after receiving approval from the program. The ICP has graduates who work at law firms, academicians, and other professions.
This program is specially designed to nurture undergraduate students so they will possess strong competence in international law, and prepare them to have the proficient capability in serving as legal professionals once they graduated. To support their studies, students will study from our extensive collections of comprehensive jurisprudence, theories of laws, and practical skills training on contract drafting, negotiation, and diplomacy. Legal procedural skills are instilled in students through moot-court simulations. Lecture activities are delivered by professors and teaching staff who are experts in their respective fields of study, as well as combinations of academicians and practitioners both from Indonesia and abroad. Faculty of Law SKU also cooperates with a number of partner universities and/ or law schools around the world, to provide students with opportunities for student exchange and study abroad programs.
