About Faculty of Law | UiT - The Arctic University of Norway

Welcome to the Faculty of Law at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. With a rich history dating back to 1984, our institution has been at the forefront of legal education and research in Northern Norway. Originally founded at the Institute of Fisheries, our law program moved to the Institute of Law in 1987 before evolving into the Faculty of Law in 1997. We take pride in offering a comprehensive range of programs, including a five-year integrated master’s degree in law, LL.M. programs specializing in Law of the Sea and Environmental Law, as well as a Ph.D. program. Our faculty comprises approximately 90 dedicated employees, with 20-25 in Ph.D. positions, and a diverse student body of around 950 students enrolled in our master’s program. Research at our faculty is organized into six main groups, covering various areas of law, such as Sami- and indigenous peoples law, Child law, Constitutional law, Administrative law, Law on Property rights, and Crime Control and Security law. Additionally, we are home to the Norwegian Centre for the Law of the Sea (NCLOS), a world-leading research environment in this field.
