The Institute of Law at Ostroh Academy is a place where a new generation of Ukrainian lawyers is shaped. We build on the best traditions of Ostroh Academy while keeping our focus firmly on the future.

At the Institute of Law, education brings together strong academic training, ethical values, and professional communication skills that give students a confident start and support their long-term career growth. For three consecutive years, 100% of our graduates have successfully passed the Unified State Qualification Exam (USQE), reflecting the high quality of our legal education. In 2021, Ostroh Academy’s law school ranked 4th out of 59 in the first independent Annual Ranking of Law Schools presented by the Ukrainian Bar Association. Our graduates work in leading law firms and international companies, as well as in public institutions and the civil society sector, where they hold both leadership and expert positions.

We value the continuity of Ostroh Academy’s legal tradition and actively develop our alumni community as a space for sharing opportunities, experience, and professional connections. Our goal is to educate lawyers with a strong academic foundation who can respond to changes in the legal environment and make decisions guided by ethics, integrity, and responsibility to society.
