Advanced master in Public Notary Law

AnnéesTravail de fin d'étudeStage


Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

The Advanced Master in Public Notary Law enables those who have gained the Belgian ‘licence’ degree or Master in Law to further their training in the specific areas related to the profession of a public notary and the requirements of the law on public notaries.

The Advanced Master in Public Notary law is therefore designed to provide students with :

There are two reasons for offering an Advanced Master in Public Notary Law : first, the law requires that the profession can only be exercised by those who have obtained the Belgian degree of ‘licence’in Public Notary Law ; second, special training is needed to carry out the activities of a public notary.

The Advanced Master Public Notary Law is therefore a condition of entry to the profession of public notary.
Article 35 of the Ventôse law, as amended by the law of 4 May 1999, stipulates that in order to be nominated as a candidate for a public notary, a degree in public notary law is necessary.

Mature students

An increasing number of students are Belgian ‘licence’ holders/Masters in law who are already working professionally and wish to acquire further training in inheritance and notarial law. The courses of the Advanced Master are held on two days of the week, making it possible for adults with professional duties to attend. In the past, students have been allowed to stagger their courses: this will continue.

Teaching method

Retour en début de pageStrong points of the pedagogical approach

Students on this programme must do a notarial work placement  with a public notary who can act as their placement supervisor who either is on the list of public notaries approved by the Committee for the Master in Public Notary Law, or, having been chosen by a student, is approved by the Committee.  

The objectives of the placement are to :

The placement is therefore a learning activity which draws on the syllabus in such a way thatclasses, work and placement are all closely linked.

Conversely, the courses for the Master in Public Notary Law are shaped to take account of the individual work that students must do during their placement, both in understanding how legal rules are applied in practice and to bring together practical experience which sheds light on the theory.

The placement takes place at the beginning of the academic year and ends with the Easter holidays. It lasts for 75 working days, on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays with a break for the Easter holidays and official holidays.

Students on the Master programme may be exempted from the placement if they can demonstrate previous or current activities or professional duties which are sufficiently close to the areas which feature in the programme for the Master in Public Notary Law.

Students who are exempted from the placement are nevertheless required to find elements in their professional duties which enable them, on one hand, to make the links between each of the courses and the practice of law and, on the other hand, to produce a dissertation drawing on their relevant professional activity or experience.

Assessment varies depending on the course. It may take the form of a traditional examination, continuous assessment or handing in assignments.
Students must also produce a dissertation and do a placement.


Internationalisation
Apart from the elements of comparative and international private law examined in the different courses, the lecturers usually organize a study visit abroad every year. Although not compulsory, students are strongly recommended to go on this visit given the individual and educational benefits.
During this visit, training activities are organized with universities, public authorities and notarial institutions.
