FLD experience

“Having Franco-German ancestry, I wanted to do this Master's degree because of its European dimension, as it offered a truly relevant course in business law across different legal systems.
This academic programme between two countries (Faculty of Law of Passau in Bavaria & Faculty of Law of the Catholic University of Lille – Paris campus) then opened up many professional opportunities for me at the European – or even international level.
Beyond the quality of the training, I will keep excellent memories of these two academic years in Germany and France.``
