Institute of Law

Stakeholders

The Department of Foreign Languages ​​of the Law Institute actively cooperates with stakeholders to ensure high-quality training of students in the specialties "International Law" and "Law of Public and Political Activity".

Starting from April 19, 2018, when the first international student roundtable on the topic "The English language as means of communication for lawyers in the context of globalization" was held with the participation of Niall Foster (GB, London), MBA lecturer and instructor, the department has consistently collaborated with foreign and domestic stakeholders to improve the quality of the educational process.

A particularly important partner in this activity is Bournemouth University. Together with Bournemouth University, the international student community "SynthEthicsSociety" was created and operates on a permanent basis. The said society regularly holds international student conferences and round tables dedicated to the legal issues of artificial intelligence with the participation of students of both the Law Institute and students of Bournemouth University.

In particular, on November 8, 2023, a meeting of the international scientific student round table was held in a similar format: "RESTAR TUKRAINE: ARTIFICIALI NTELLIGENCE IN DIGITAL SOCIETY".

Also, on April 17, 2024, the department, together with Bournemouth University, held an international student online conference "The ArtificialIntellect and Human Rights: Current Challenges and Future Prospects". The working language of the conference is English.

During this time, students of the Law Institute had the opportunity to communicate with native English speakers, foreign legal scholars, as well as English teachers from the UK.

Among the active foreign participants, representatives of stakeholders, we can note: Denis Lyons, barrister and experienced teacher of English for adults (DELTA), Bill Boring, barrister, professor of law at the University of London.

Among the representatives of Bournemouth University, we can highlight: Dr. Steph Allen, Dr Max Lowenstein, Dr Lingling Wei, prof. Joseph McMullen.

Such international events contribute to improving the quality of training of students in the specialties "International Law" and "Law of Public and Political Activities".

An important domestic stakeholder of the department is the VerityGroup Bar Association, which has a strategic interest in the formation of future lawyers with a high level of proficiency in practical legal language.

In cooperation with the aforementioned stakeholders, the department has developed and provides teaching of intra-departmental special courses within the framework of the current curricula:

"Introduction to Franchising: Legal and Practical Basics" - a course focused on a deep understanding of the legal and practical aspects of franchising, with a special emphasis on international legal mechanisms.

"Negotiation Fundamentals for Law Students" - a course dedicated to the basics of the negotiation process, which is critically important in international legal practice and public legal activities.

In addition, for the future potential stakeholder "Law Advisory Group", the department is developing an intra-departmental special course "Advanced English for Criminal Lawyers: Procedure and Strategy".

At the same time, the department also actively cooperates with the Scientific and Educational Center for Intensive Study of Foreign and Ukrainian Languages ​​"INTENSIVE" to implement an innovative project - the web platform "Educator".
