In the event of the divergence between the different linguistic versions of the present conditions, the French version shall prevail.
General access 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 oteco 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 access requirements
The specific eligibility criteria for this programme are as follows:
Applicants must hold a Belgian master in laws or a foreign law degree that is considered equivalent, and must have obtained high grades during their studies.
The jury may also grant access to the programme to holders of other Belgian master degrees or other foreign degrees that are considered equivalent, if in its judgment the programme at stake included a significant legal dimension, and provided that students obtained high grades during their studies.
Eligibility is determined by the jury based on all elements in their admission file. Inter alia, it takes into account: the profile of previous education, a possible professional experience to the extent it is deemed relevant and significant, the motivation and training objectives, as well as the level of command of English (and, at the very least for the private international law option, of French).
Students who have a parallel professional occupation (lawyers, diplomats posted in Brussels, EU officials, etc.) may be authorized to break down their programme over two academic years, in accordance with UCLouvain rules.
Applications must be submitted in accordance with general rules of UCLouvain, using the online procedure.
