Study programme 2015-2016

Teaching and training



 The bachelor's programme in Law introduces to the principles of both private and public law. Its aim however is also to train the students to the rigour and precision essential for the reading, reasoning and expression of legal materials. In addition, it offers an opening into other disciplines... Law is not a science constructed in isolation. It mirrors social values, is linked to history and is dependent on psychological, economic, sociological and other such realities.
 
The knowledge and skills to be acquired throughout the bachelor's programme of Law are three-fold. Firstly, the student is trained in the correct use of the "tools" and strategies for learning how to learn (grasping the methodology linked to the diversity of the formal sources of Law and the knowledge of languages other than French). Secondly, they are taught to master the concepts required in order to develop a spirit of critical analysis of the Law. And thirdly, they are introduced to a number of juridical fields, in which they will develop their analytical skills.
 
Law as a discipline still bears the hallmarks of sovereignty over a given territory and over a national community. European Law and International Law, however have a growing influence.
 
The international dimensions of the programme are reflected principally in the presence of the course in European Law as part of the major. They are also clearly present in the course on Comparative Law, given in a language other than French, and in other optional courses aimed at introducing the student to the relativity of the juridical systems.
 
As for the international exchanges, these are only organised at master's level.

1. CONNAÎTRE ET COMPRENDRE
