The graduate can define a factual and legal problem, abstract a factual problem into a legal qualification, i.e. name it in legal concepts and terms, subordinate it to the relevant legal norm, institute and normative regulation, subordinate them to the correct legal categories, distinguish them from other related legal categories, and finally, using legal methods, he/she is able to retrospectively apply the non-actual state to the relevant legal solution. He/she is able to work independently and in a team, to think critically and to evaluate both a factual and a legal situation/legal problem, also taking into account other normative systems (morality).The skills and competences acquired during the study enable the graduate to combine and combine knowledge from different branches of law, to assess a factual (social) and legal problem and to make a qualified legal conclusion. The acquired skills and competences are also transferable to the solution of new legal problems. The graduate is able to present a legal problem publicly at an appropriate material and formal level in oral and written form, respecting the standards of scientific and professional work and the principles of academic integrity. Knowledge outcomes are ensured and guaranteed by the completion of required and elective courses.
