A Specialised Education
in EU Law
A LONG-STANDING TRADITION IN EU LAW
AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
Since its establishment in 1964, the “Charles de Visscher Center for
International and European Law” (CeDIE) has thoroughly contributed to
the
promotion and study of International and European Law
.
Several generations of academics have integrated the Center within the UCL
Law Faculty, as witnessed by a large amount of
renowned publications
and the creation and participation in
high-level European and International
professional networks
.
The Advanced Master (LL.M.) in European Law is therefore rooted in a long-
standing research and education tradition, which, for half a century now,
has attracted students from all over the world.
A HIGH-LEVEL TRAINING
The Advanced Master (LL.M.) in European Law is a one-year
postgraduate
programme
(60 ECTS).
Courses are taught mainly in French, but many are also offered in English.
The wide range of courses and options
allows students to tailor a single
language (FR) or bilingual (FR/EN) personal program, corresponding to
their professional aims and meeting the highest academic standards.
The programme offers general courses, specialized courses and courses on
current topics.
PROGRAMME OPEN TO PRACTITIONERS
Although courses are taught in a day schedule, the Advanced Master in
European Law may be adjusted for professionals already pursuing a career
in a European or international institution, an NGO, etc.
VISITS OF INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS,
CONFERENCES AND PROFESSIONAL INTEGRATION
In addition to courses, the Advanced Master in European Law offers several
complementary activities: visits of international and European Institutions
(such as the European Parliament, the Court of Justice of the European
Union, the International Court of Justice, etc.) ; evening conferences
on topical subjects; as well as European and international job-market
workshops. Moreover, since the number of admissions is limited, selected
students have a privileged relationship with professors, and are followed on
an individual basis.
MOOCS ON EDX PLATFORM
UCL joined the edX consortium and offers Massive Open Online Courses.
Several professors of the Faculty of Law and Criminology have developed
MOOC content related to International and European Law.
