Specific Admission Requirements
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.
