The FLD Experience

“My Master in EU Law and Ligitation
(MIEL) was a deeply rewarding experience.
The courses, taught 100% in English by
highly skilled professors, significantly
enhanced my understanding of the field
along with the opportunity to undertake
internships. The chance to network was
a real advantage, and over the two years,
every class felt like a new journey. The
Faculty of Law truly felt like a home,
fostering a strong sense of community and
support throughout the program. It is an
educational journey that I will always value.
