INTRODUCTION

Prince Sultan University (PSU) College of Law is a leader in Legal Education in Saudi
Arabia. The Law College boasts a strong Faculty of Law and enjoys growing numbers of
capable and ambitious students. The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) program is noted for the
excellence of its design, breadth and distinctiveness.
The LLB curriculum was drafted in consultation and concert with Faculty of Law

to tailor a program that graduates legal professionals for today's world. Toward that end
all Law graduates are schooled in the following fields of law:
Private Law
Administrative Law International Law
Public Law International

Commercial Law
Criminal law
Civil Law Islamic
The features of the LLB Law curriculum design that distinguish it from other Law
programs in the Kingdom are its tracks, bilingual hallmark and the wealth of
opportunities that await its graduates. The first adds depth to breadth. When the Law
students enter their seventh term (i.e. Senior Year), they elect one of four tracks
featuring five advanced courses in these fields:
Commercial Law International Law Advanced Saudi Law General Law Track
The above specializations are the most needed by the local and global markets for
lawyers and legal professionals. The General Law track allows students to freely elect
five courses from the other three tracks for an individualized specialization. The
bilingual nature of the program e.g. over 40% of the PSU courses are in English for
those Law students electing the Commercial Law and International Law tracks to
optimize the range of job opportunities. The co-op ensures that law students experience
legal practice in some of the leading law offices, companies and governmental bodies in
Riyadh. College of Law students upon their graduation have been very well received
