Absolventu atsauksmes
"Studiju programma pārsteidza ar savu kvalitāti ne tikai saturiski, bet arī organizatoriski. Programmas saturs un metodika ir prasmīgi pielāgota ikvienam interesentam, neatkarīgi no priekšzināšanām tiesību jomā. Tā nodrošināja līdzsvarotas teorijas un praktiskās zināšanās, aptverot plašus juridiskos principus tieši attiecībā uz organizācijas pārvaldības jautājumiem. Piesaistītie pasniedzēji ir savas jomas profesionāļi, tādējādi gūtās zināšanas ir ne tikai teorētiskas, bet arī dziļi sakņojas aktuālajā tiesu praksē un principos. Pēc studijām esmu ieguvis lielāku izpratni par komerctiesībām, līgumtiesībām, īpašumtiesībām, valsts pārvaldes institucionālo sistēmu, korporatīvās pārvaldības principiem, publiskajiem iepirkumiem, personas datu aizsardzības jautājumiem, personāla vadības juridiskajiem aspektiem un citiem vadītājam aktuālajiem juridiskajiem jautājumiem."
