The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance offers three Master programmes in Law. The focus of these Master programmes is on European Law and they are all bilingual, meaning that classes and exams are carried out both in English and in French. Each Master is a two-year programme. A student can choose to either follow the entire two-year programme or follow only the second year of a specialisation. Students must meet the specific requirements of admission in both cases. Each Master offers two specialisations in the second year. Applicants must choose their specialisation during registration. The Master degree is awarded upon successful completion of the second year.
The first year is a common programme to all three Master programmes in Law.
It serves to broaden the knowledge acquired during the bachelor studies and will provide students with a deeper insight into European law. With its emphasis on European, comparative and international law, the Master programme naturally reflects its proximity to several European institutions such as the Court of Justice, the General Court, the European Investment Bank, the European Investment Fund and the European Court of Auditors. Courses in the second year of the Master programmes are taught by experts from these institutions as well as other practitioners and faculty members. Courses in the first year are taught mainly by professors from the University.
The first year also prepares students for the requirements during the second year of the Master, where in each specialisation in-depth competencies and practical application of the relevant European law are achieved. An overview of the courses offered during the first year can be found under “Programme”. Teaching relies on problem-based learning methods. In addition, the possibility for participation in Moot Court competitions to train in a “real-life” application of knowledge is an integral part of the programme. Preparatory language courses are offered to students, as well as continuous language training during the year.
Conditions d'admission
Applications for the first year of one of the three Master programmes in law require a bachelor degree in law or an equivalent completed study programme, with at least three years of higher education as required by the Bologna criteria (180 ECTS). The application dossier includes a motivation letter, a CV, copies of previous study results and diploma(s), certification of language proficiency (English and French) either evident from previous studies or by a language test result, as well as a recommendation letter or two persons of reference.
Once admitted to one of the three Master programmes and after successful completion of the first year (equivalent to 60 ECTS) you can advance to one of the two specialisations offered by each Master programme. These specialisations require a minimum level of grades in your first-year courses that are relevant to your chosen specialisation. Students will be offered the possibility to change into another Master in law programme after a successful completion of their first year and demonstrating a strong case for shifting specialisation. Admission to the second year of any of the three Master programmes in Law is granted by an assessment of the selection committee.
Students have also the option to apply directly to the second year, at any of the specialisations offered by each one of the three Master programmes in law. Applicants are required to have completed successfully four years of law studies (equivalent to 240 ECTS) and demonstrate a solid knowledge of European law in addition to the specific requirements set by the different programmes.
