Master in Law

The two blocs of Master in law have the following objectives:

• to study the branches of law not taught in Bachelor's degree (international law, tax law, etc.);

• to consolidate and specialize the knowledge acquired in Bachelor's degree;

• to make students autonomous, adaptable to complex legal situations and capable of producing new or original knowledge.

The Master's degree in law combines ex cathedra courses (mostly accompanied by practical work sessions), interactive seminars (case courses, discussion of texts, mock trials, etc.) and personal research by students.

The Master's degree in law of the ULB combines rigorous learning, in-depth study of concrete and complex legal issues, the contribution of renowned teachers including many practitioners, while putting into perspective the knowledge and skills acquired by courses which offer a critical look at law (eg. Law Theory, Anthropology of Law, Philosophy of Law, Sociology of Law, etc).
