Study Canon Law?
Obtaining your JCL?

Want to learn more about the interaction between the law of Church and society? Our goal is to enable you to serve the People of God as a judge, a promotor of justice or an advocate in an ecclesiastical tribunal, or as chancellor, judicial vicar or expert in canon law in the diocesan Curia.

Despite our rather small size, we have the honour to attract many doctoral and foreign students. In this internationally oriented and academically stimulating environment, much attention is paid to research that connects professional knowledge with an intellectual flair.
