Association

Legio Ostiensis ry or Legio is the University of Eastern Finland's Law School's student association for those studying specialized fields of legal expertise.

A student association brings together the students studying the same branch of science: it deals with student advocacy and offers many different kinds of activities to balance out your studies, such as events and sports.

To become a member you must study to become a Bachelor of Administrative Sciences and/or Master of Administrative Sciences (B.Sc./ M.Sc. or HTK/HTM) or study in an international Master's Programme.

Legio was established in the September of 1997, when the Public Law studies became a major in UEF. The UEF Law School was established in the August of 1998, originally named the Faculty of Public Law from 1998 to the beginning of 2002.

Legio is an active and lively student association. In the core of our operation is to provide fun and benefits to our members. We organize a plethora of different kind of factual programmes and free time events.

The Degrees B.Sc./M.Sc. or HTK/HTM
