Abstract EN
The regulation of legal education in Poland is governed by the Law of 20 July 2018 on Higher Education and Science (HEaS Law). Legal studies in Poland are classified as uniform master’s studies, lasting five to six years, and can be conducted in either full-time or part-time formats. Universities offering legal education must comply with specific requirements, including obtaining permission to establish law studies, which involves an evaluation by the State Accreditation Commission (SAC). The curriculum for law studies must meet detailed criteria set out by the Minister of Science and Higher Education. The option for distance learning is available but with certain limitations. Admission to law studies requires a high school diploma, with criteria for admission set by the respective university. Academic teachers in law must meet certain competence and experience requirements. The quality of legal education is evaluated by SAC through programme or comprehensive assessments.
