Enjoy Debating and Have Strong Arguments? A Law Degree Might Be Right for You
Many people still think that studying law at university is just about memorising article after article as thick as a novel. In reality, the world of law is far broader than just sitting in a courtroom with a pile of documents.
Look around you. From business matters, employment contracts, and digital transactions to personal data protection, land disputes, and cases that go viral on social media, everything has a connection to the law. You could say that law acts as a referee, ensuring the game runs according to the rules.
For those who enjoy critical thinking, love analysing problems from various perspectives, or are often the most enthusiastic person during a debate at a hangout, a Law study programme could be an interesting option to consider.
Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika (UBSI), known as a Creative Digital Campus and accredited as ‘Unggul’ (Excellent), has a Faculty of Law that oversees programmes in Law, Business Law, and International Relations.
UBSI Rector Mochamad Wahyudi stated that the demand for law graduates continues to evolve alongside changing times and technological advancements.
"Many assume law graduates only become advocates. In fact, career opportunities are very broad. Law graduates can pursue careers as legal officers, mediators, legal consultants, government officials, corporate legal staff, and many other professions that require analytical skills and an understanding of regulations," he said.
According to Prof Wahyudi, the development of digital technology has actually increased the need for legal professionals. The emergence of new issues such as personal data protection, electronic transactions, cyber security, and digital business regulations opens up many opportunities for law graduates to contribute.
"Law students today do not only learn about rules, but also learn to understand societal issues, business developments, and technological dynamics. Therefore, the ability to think critically and deliver good arguments is an important value they must possess," Wahyudi added.
Interestingly, studying in a Law programme does not mean facing articles and legislation every single day. Students will also learn to analyse cases, engage in discussions, negotiate, construct legal arguments, and understand how law is applied in real life.
In short, if there is a major that teaches you how to think before you speak, how to analyse before concluding, and how to argue without getting angry in the comment section, Law might be one of them.
UBSI’s Law programme is available at the Margonda Campus, Kramat Campus, and Kaliabang Campus for morning and afternoon classes. For those who need a more flexible schedule, the Law programme is also available at the Cikarang Campus with afternoon and evening class options.
So, if you have always had many questions about why a rule was made, why a case could be decided differently, or why the loudest person in a debate is not necessarily the most correct, perhaps it is time for you to get to know the world of law more closely.

Because in the real world, winning an argument is fun. But it is even cooler if you know the legal basis behind it.
