About the Course

The FGV Law degree is committed to training legal leaders capable of working to strengthen democracy and the development of Brazil. 


Curriculum

The student's training is divided into two stages.

In the first five terms, graduates take full-time mandatory courses required by the Ministry of Education (MEC) and recommended by the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB).

As of the sixth term, the specialization cycle begins. At this stage, the student is free to organize his own curriculum with elective subjects, balancing a part-time course and an external internship.

Enrollment for the course selection process can be done separately in the different admission modalities: FGV Entrance Exam, ENEM and International.

DIFFERENTIALS OF STUDYING AT FGV RIO DE JANEIRO LAW SCHOOL

Field Project

The student body from the 1st to the 5th term of the undergraduate course in Law at 
FGV performs mandatory practical activities called Field Projects.

The objective is to articulate theory and practice. Legal challenges on various topics are 
proposed and submitted to the application of conceptual models learned in class, in search of solutions and the development of products that impact the legal and social reality of the investigated person.

Supervised vacation activity

FGV Rio - Law School has exclusive covenants to introduce students to the legal practice and professional culture of large companies, law firms and public sectors. The program takes place in the academic recess months (January and July) and lasts four weeks.

FGV Rio - Law School Mentorship Program

The Academic Mentoring Program promotes affinity between students, or between 
students and academics with greater experience or even with professionals who work 
exclusively in the job market.

The individual construction of the dialogue and guidance relationship aims to exchange 
experiences and joint planning of actions to promote career, academic and professional 
advances, increase self-confidence and personal satisfaction of the mentored student.

Internationalization

The FGV Rio - Law School offers exchange programs for students and professors at 
more than 60 renowned foreign universities, such as Harvard Law School, Yale Law 
School, Columbia Law School, NYU School of Law, Sorbonne, Science Po Paris and 
China University Political Science and Law.

It also receives foreign professors who teach courses in English and students from partner universities, who take courses together with our graduates.

Partnerships and Internships

Undergraduate Law students have access to exclusive agreements with public organizations, representative entities, and international institutions, providing them with the opportunity to intern at major companies and government agencies.

Furthermore, students also have the chance to participate in exchange programs with institutions such as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, NYU, Sorbonne, Coimbra, among others, in over 20 countries.

Double degree and Complementary Training

The job market is looking for professionals with interdisciplinary knowledge, and with 
that in mind, FGV Rio - Law School has entered into partnerships with the Brazilian 
School of Public and Business Administration (FGV EBAPE), the School of Applied 
Mathematics (FGV EMAp) and the School of Social Sciences (FGV CPDOC) for dual 
graduation, without the need to take a new entrance exam.

The great advantage is that students approved in the internal selection process will be 
able to graduate in two courses (Law and Business, Law and Applied Mathematics, Law 
and Data Sciences or Law and Social Sciences), in a shorter period of time than if they 
did both successively.

Students who wish to acquire a set of knowledge and skills from other areas without, 
however, graduating in two courses, can receive certificates of Complementary Training 
in the areas of Data Sciences, Social Sciences, Economics, Applied Mathematics and 
International Relations (similar to a Minor).

In this case, students must complete a minimum number of credits in disciplines offered 
by other FGV schools.

KNOW MORE

CAREERS

Working with the Law does not mean having a contemplative stance on the set of laws that organize life in society, but using knowledge about them to contribute to the development of society.

That's why FGV wants to help you learn a little more about your future career.
