Malang, 2024 – The Center of Excellence (COE) Corporate Law School Program, organized by the Islamic Family Law Study Program at the Faculty of Islamic Studies, Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM), in collaboration with the Indonesian Advocates Association (PERADI) Malang, has successfully strengthened students’ understanding of corporate law. This program aims to produce graduates competent in corporate law, focusing on mastering the fundamentals of corporate law, national and international business regulations, as well as practical skills in dispute resolution and legal case analysis.
The program targeted sixth-semester students during the even semester of the 2023/2024 academic year.

Throughout the program, students not only learned the foundational concepts of corporate law but also explored various business regulations applicable at both national and international levels. They were trained to analyze legal cases commonly encountered by companies, such as issues related to contracts, competition law, intellectual property rights, and corporate liability.
In addition to legal aspects, the program emphasized business ethics, including corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability principles. A distinctive feature of this program was the integration of Islamic legal principles in corporate law analysis, providing students with a unique perspective enriched with moral values.
Conducted during the even semester of the 2023/2024 academic year, the program utilized a hybrid learning method, combining face-to-face (offline) meetings and online sessions. This approach offered flexibility for students while leveraging technology to enhance the learning experience.

In addition to theoretical classes, students were given opportunities to intern at prominent companies or legal institutions. This allowed them to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.
During internships, students not only learned about corporate law practices but also developed soft skills such as communication, leadership, and teamwork. These skills are essential for success in the corporate law field, where effective communication and teamwork are integral to professionalism.
