Master of European Law (LL M)
Court of Justice - Luxembourg
Besides the law programme, students also take part in the European General Studies Programme.
A specialized programme, European Law and Economic Analysis (ELEA), is offered to a limited number of students of the Legal Studies and Economics Departments.
The College organises an intensive Introductory Course for those students whose prior background in European law might not be sufficient to follow this highly specialised programme.
Why study European law at the College of Europe?
- The subject - European law is a multifaceted, rapidly developing, ever more significant and fascinating area of the law. A solid and profound knowledge thereof is profitable, if not essential, for all lawyers nowadays.
- The programme - The programme provides an in-depth education in European law. It establishes a balance between the economic and the constitutional aspects of European law, and emphasizes both the increasing complexity of EU law and the context in which it is evolving. The law programme is particularly demanding and requires extensive individual preparation in advance of each class. Students must learn to identify the particular, often complicated, features of a case, the structure of these features, the principles that can be drawn from the judgment or decision, to discuss the merits of such a judgment or decision and to compare it with others. Developing such skills is necessary for a lawyer who wants to specialize in EU law.
- The Faculty – A mix of excellent scholars and eminent practitioners from different countries and legal traditions offer a truly European legal education. Also the students are carefully selected and have different legal backgrounds from all over Europe and beyond.
- Bilinguism – Studying and working both in English and French.
- The Diploma – The LLM awarded by the College of Europe has an outstanding reputation. It is valued inter alia by international law firms and European institutions. It offers excellent job opportunities at national, European and international level.
