• Conduct independent legal research, producing scholarly work that meets academic and professional standards.,

Graduates of WVPU's law program will be prepared for a wide range of international and interdisciplinary careers. Career paths include in-house legal counsel positions in multinational corporations, legal and regulatory roles in banks and financial institutions and compliance functions across the financial sector. Graduates may also pursue careers as policy analysts in government agencies or as legal consultants for non-governmental and international organizations, including the United Nations.
