Law

Holders of a first cycle degree containing at least 93 credits of a similar kind may gain entry to this Master by adding the total of missing credits to the first year of their Master’s programme, up to a limit of 15 credits.

Bachelor degrees in computer science, human and social sciences, sociology and anthropology, information and communication and political science particularly fall into this category, provided students have taken the minor in Management prior to the Master’s programme.

If the total of the prerequisite subjects is more than 15 credits, entry to the Master programme is subject to the satisfactory completion of a preparatory year and gaining a maximum of 60 credits.

Note: An insufficient number of credits in languages may be offset by evidence of passing an English test at level B2 of the Common Common European Framework (CEF) for languages. Evidence of knowledge of a third language (optional) must also be produced. For further information on language tests, please contact LSM Admission

2. General entry requirements for students who have been awarded a degree outside the French-speaking Community in Belgium (CfB)

Holders of a first cycle degree which is not in conformity with the European Credits Transfer System (ECTS) are required to show evidence of having taken comparable courses in each of the subjects listed above. The length of any courses both taken and satisfactorily completed are then converted into credits on the basis of a complete first cycle being worth 180 credits and a single year 60 credits. 

b) Good knowledge of the languages in which the programme is taught :

  • English: results for either the TOEFL or the IELTS test should be included in the application form
