The minor in law is an additional " option " that students from other faculties may choose as of their second year of studies with a view to learning more about law. The program includes a certain number of mandatory courses which aim to give students a basic grasp of the main legal domains. This knowledge will then help students to study the way other disciplines can intertwine with law (law and religion, ethics applied to law, etc) and gain a deeper knowledge of some aspects of law which are of particular interest to them (European Union law for a student of political science, for example, or commercial law for a management engineer student).

Once the minor in law has been completed, the student will be able to assess the importance of the rule of law in our day-to-day lives and evaluate its impact on the basic discipline s/he has chosen.

The minor in law is proposed to any U.C.L. student who is not already following the baccalaureate in law.

2 Consulting the table of available support for each activity
Alternative pedagogical arrangements can be made for some courses, intended solely for students who are following the activities as part of their minor and have demonstrated that it is impossible for them to attend courses due to a timetable clash with the major programme.

In order to familiarize him/herself with these alternative pedagogical arrangements, the student is invited to meet the conseiller aux études de la Faculté de droit (law faculty course adviser):

Jacques Laffineur, conseiller aux études de la Faculté de droit :

Faculté de droit - Collège Thomas More - Office C.011
Office hours : Tuesdays from 9.00 until 11.00 and Wednesdays from 11.00 until 13.00
By appointment (to be made by telephone - 010/47 86 10 - or by email sent to the following address: conseiller.etudes@drt.ucl.ac.be)

The student must obtain the written consent of the conseiller aux études in order to replace attendance in courses with alternative pedagogical arrangements when this is suggested by the professor.

Organization of exams

1 Registering for exams
In order to enroll for exams related to the minor, the student must fill in the "customary" registration form following the arrangements made by his/her own faculty secretariat.

In order to "reserve" a time slot for an oral exam, the student is invited to consult the arrangements put in place by the Faculté de droit. This information will be posted up on the Faculté de droit bulletin board as well as on the web pages of the faculty secretariat, at the following address:
http://www.drt.ucl.ac.be/adm/

At the Faculté de droit, exam times are always posted up on two occasions:

Provisional posting: The student notes the different test dates proposed for the oral exams and the planned times for the written exams. Based on this information, the student informs the secretariat of the date on which s/he will take the oral exam. Based on this, the Faculté de droit secretariat compiles lists of exam times for the oral exams.
Definitive posting :the student must check the date and time of his/her exam once the final times have been posted.

In order to find out when the exam dates are posted, the student is invited to consult the Faculté de droit paper bulletins or the following address:
http://www.drt.ucl.ac.be/adm/
