The aim of the approfondissement in law is to make it possible for students who choose not to take a minor course in another faculty to improve even further their understanding of legal phenomena, as well as the way they go about critically analyzing these same phenomena. From this perspective, emphasis is placed on interdisciplinarity, an openness to other legal cultures, a mastery of languages and using interactive teaching methods.

The approfondissement in law is accessible to all students in their second year of the Baccalaureate in law.

Organization of exams

1 Registering for exams
All students who take exams must pick up a registration form from the Faculté de Droit's secretariat.

The registration forms are distributed by the members of the faculty secretariat in the hall of the Faculté de Droit, in front of the valves for each year of studies (according to a timetable available at the following address : http://www.uclouvain.be/169418.html).Each student has their own form, which is given upon presentation of a student card or I.D. card. 

Should the student be unable to request his/her form in person, s/he may give a signed and dated power of attorney to another student who will pick up the form in his/her place. The administrative secretariat will keep this power of attorney which will be attached to the form of the student who has been unable to attend in person. 

On the exam registration form:

1. The student checks the encoding of his program.A signed and returned form signals agreement on the programme.
2. The student fills in the exam registration form, dates and signs it personally (except where s/he has granted power of attorney) and posts it through the letterbox for the year of study in question near the reception within the time period specified by the administrative secretariat. After the deadline, the administrative secretariat will no longer register any further student for the session in question. 
3. On the back of the registration form, the student indicates a choice of dates on which s/he will sit oral exams, based on the provisional timetable which is affixed to the faculty valves and is available on the administrative secretariat's site. The secretariat places the students on the oral exam charts, paying as close attention as possible to their preferences after drawing a letter of the alphabet from a hat. After the students have been placed on the exam charts, new exam times are posted up. The students are then required to consult the definitive timetable.
