While Arabic is the official teaching language at the faculty of Law, other languages may be used when necessary. Furthermore, the learning system is based on attendance, which means that the Faculty follows a system of credit hours in its study plan, so that the actual Faculty year is divided into two mandatory semesters:
The first semester: around 16 weeks including exams period. This usually starts sometime at the beginning of October of each academic year until the end of January. However, evening program students are treated differently in this regard, especially in the case of the holy month of Ramadan, in which case students need to be aware of the University year calendar.
The second semester: around 16 weeks including exams period, starting sometime in February of each year until the end of June.
The summer semester: this is an optional semester for students, lasting around 8 weeks, starting in July till the end of August.
The Faculty of Law offers two study programmes which include:
- Daytime Study Programme: from 8.00 a.m. until 3.00 p.m.
- Evening Study Programme: from 3.00 p.m. until 7.00 p.m.
