The IUC curriculum is made up on three components: Foundational, Specialized Courses & Workshops & Clinics
Foundational
The Foundational portion of the curriculum is aimed at acquainting students with the fundamentals the challenging fields of law, economics and finance. Particular emphasis is paid on incorporating the practical considerations, rather than merely familiarizing students with the black letter law. Accordingly, each course explores law in action, investigating the myriad non-legal factors which influence the course of financial interactions, and the field of law and finance more generally.

Specialized
