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 Masters (LL.M.) in International Law and European
Law are 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 Masters (LL.M.) in International Law and European Law are one-year
postgraduate programs (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.
Each program offers general courses, specialized courses and courses on current topics.
PROGRAMS OPEN TO PRACTITIONERS
Although courses are taught in a day schedule, the Advanced Masters in International
Law and 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, these programs offer 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 international job-market workshops. Moreover, since the
number of admissions is limited, selected students have a privileged relationship with the
academic body, and are followed on an individual basis.
MOOCS ON EDX PLATFORM
UCL joined edX consortium and offers online courses (Massive Open Online Courses).
Several professors of the Faculty of Law and Criminology have developed MOOC content
related to International and European Law.

Sea, the Deputy Registrar of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights,
