Dean's Message \

Faculty Guide Dean's Message page. 2

The Faculty of Law and Political Science was established in 1960, becoming one of the earliest faculties at BAU and later one of the leading faculties at the Local, Arab and International level in teaching science and legal knowledge in all disciplines of law, and according to universally recognized academic curriculum. This enabled the Faculty to contribute to the formation of the Lebanese and Arab legal mind and the graduation of more than sixteen thousand graduate that now occupy the highest positions in Lebanon and Worldwide. The strategy of the Faculty for the coming years is a developmental pathway to many achievements done by the Faculty half a century ago. We rely on our own academic curriculum, our legal research, our services in many Local and Arab communities, and our worldwide relations. The challenge is to access the future steps and adjust their speed with the pace of the evolution of the law towards the future. The Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) was attained by the Faculty in its three programs; Bachelor, Masters, and PhD.

Moot Court Students are trained in Moot Courts through the design of a virtual criminal or civil lawsuit in which they represent the judiciary committee, the prosecution and defence, as well as the accused. A number of prominent judges in the Lebanese judicial bodies and professors of procedural Law at the Faculty supervise these Moot Courts. This leads to reducing the wide gap between academic legal studies and practice, enabling the students to link between the theoretical and practical side, and facilitating their integration in applied and professional life. Consequently, they obtain the qualifications which help them assume the proper position in the Bar, the prosecution office or the judiciary body.

Legal Clinic It provides a continuous training for the Faculty of Law students on applied legal issues. The Legal Clinic is a system that serves the community through students and academic staff who provide it with pro bono (free of charge) legal advice as a kind of community service.

The Faculty of Architecture - Design & Built Environment, previously Faculty of Architectural Engineering, was founded in 1962 as the fourth faculty at BAU. Since commencement, it has played a key role in addressing and serving the needs of students from Lebanon and the entire Middle East. Over the past eight years, BAU has embedded a comprehensive structure of quality assurance procedures and systems crowned by the accomplishment of an unconditioned Validation by the RIBA since 2010, which was selected as the tool to ensure such quality. Thus, the Faculty emerged as the only validated Architectural program in Lebanon that graduates students to be validated by RIBA in addition to the Lebanese accredited degree. To enrich the learning experiences of our students we are establishing a meaningful, diverse and interacting community of exceptional academic staff with national and international backgrounds, developing a strategic relationship with a targeted set of peer institutions in Europe and Middle East for students and faculty exchange and collaboration.
