The Faculty of Law in Oslo educates about 75% of all new legal candidates in Norway, and is the work- and study place for about 300 employees and 4 300 students. We are divided into six Departments/Centres in addition to the Administration. The larger part of the Faculty is situated in the classical University buildings in the centre of Oslo.

The Faculty consists of six Departments/Centres in addition to the administration, with an elected Dean as head of the organization.

Multiple disciplines

In addition to the traditional fields of study within law, our researchers also explore more modern aspects of law - such as Environmental Law and eCommerce. In addition the faculty holds a Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law and a Centre for Human Rights.

PhD

Doctoral training at the faculty is a priority, and the number of completed doctoral degrees is increasing. Interdisciplinary research groups are used to enhance the quality and scope of the research.

Our employees

The faculty's academic staff play a significant role in Norwegian society. They are sought after as members and leaders in the public councils and committees, especially in legal committees and arbitration chairs.
