Summary/Abstract: The study of private international law in EU universities lacks a unified, standardized framework, leaving future legal professionals unprepared for the increasingly interconnected nature of modern legal issues involving cross-border transactions, disputes, and relationships. In today’s globalized world, private international law should be a mandatory core subject for law students, providing them with essential knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of international legal practice effectively. A common curriculum is urgently needed across EU Member States to address this gap while preserving the distinctiveness of each legal system’s genealogy. This article explores the critical role of private international law in contemporary legal education. By analyzing various law degree programs, it argues that this discipline should be compulsory, central, and autonomous within legal studies to prepare lawyers for the transnational challenges of modern legal practice.
