Teaching method

  • The program is a combination of seminars developed specifically for the Certificate and existing courses. For these courses, the audience is therefore mixed: certificate students and bachelor/master students.
  • The courses are taught by a team of experienced in-house lawyers and practitioners with recognized field experience.
  • The evaluation is specific to the continuing education program and will be linked to the participant's professional experience.
  • Students are encouraged to actively participate in the course and to be involved in their learning.
