At the heart of our teaching at the Faculty of Law, Political Science and Criminology is the norm, its use and its implications. This rather abstract notion shapes all our lives in society. How do we strike a balance between the rights, freedoms and obligations of each individual? How are rules constructed, applied and adhered to? How do they relate to politics? What are the decision-making processes at local and global level? What happens in the event of infringement?
These are just some of the many social issues that lawyers, political scientists and criminologists will be tackling. A common background and openness to other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, the importance of languages, a professional foundation (involvement of experts in the field, internships, etc.), an international outlook (opportunities to spend time abroad, joint degrees), a wealth of practical experience (tutorials, practice sessions and seminars), close supervision of students, participation in international projects and competitions... these are just some of the features inherent in all the Faculty's courses.
The Faculty of Law, Political Science and Criminology is located on the Sart-Tilman campus in Angleur, served by several bus routes. The Sart Tilman estate is divided into major districts. The Faculty is based in the Agora district. For the Bloc 1 bachelor students, courses are given at the Sart Tilman in :
These buildings are very close to each other: a few minutes' walk is all it takes to get from one to the other.

The Faculty is located on the Sart Tilman campus. You have the option of living just a stone's throw from your courses, on or near the campus.

Around 7,000 student accommodation options are available throughout the city and around the Sart Tilman campus (rooms, studios, apartments, houses). There's plenty to choose from, and average prices are still affordable compared to other major university cities.

The Faculty's main library is the Léon Graulich Library. Located at B31, it is one of the main “laboratories” for studies, teaching and research in law, political science and criminology.
In addition to the libraries, the Sart Tilman campus and the city center offer a number of spaces specially designed for students, including study, relaxation and co-working areas.
With its greenery and wooded paths, the Sart Tilman is in itself an open-air sports area. You can walk, run or cycle along the many paths that cross the area.
In general, ULiège supports its students in their studies in a variety of ways, whether in terms of quality of life, success assistance, well-being or social aspects.
Within the secretariat of each Faculty or School, the assistants are the students' key contacts for all administrative matters, particularly those concerning exam organization, timetables, certificates of achievement, official transcripts, etc.
