Decree of 7 November 2013 defining the landscape of higher education and the academic organization of studies.
The admission requirements must be met prior to enrolment in the University.
General requirements
Subject to the general requirements laid down by the academic authorities, admission to the specialized Master’s degree programme will be granted to students who fulfil the entry requirements for studies leading to the award of a Master’s (second-cycle) degree and who hold a second-cycle diploma, degree, certificate or other qualification issued within or outside the French Community of Belgium, or whose prior learning or experience has been accredited by the Examination Board as being equivalent to at least 300 credits.
Specific Admission Requirements
The special admission conditions for this programme are as follows :
Students should preferably have gained a Master’s degree in Law, or a foreign degree in law which is considered equivalent, with a high grade. However the Master in International Law is not only reserved for lawyers ; students who have a Master’s degree in international relations or political science or any other degree considered to be equivalent with basic courses in law (international) may join the programme if they have gained a high grade for their degree.
Application forms should be submitted in the usual way, with the necessary documents; they are considered by the President and the Secretary of the Advanced Master panel. Students who satisfy academic entry requirements are informed by email straight away.
Accessible to adults
As far as possible, the courses for the Advanced Master are grouped together over several weekdays, to make it possible for mature students to attend. In the past, students with professional responsibilities such as lawyers, diplomats serving in Brussels and European officials, have been allowed to stagger their courses: this will continue according to criteria set by the university.
