Pedagogy

Participation in International Law Moot Courts: Master’s Year 1 students (compulsory module) and Master’s Year 2 students (optional) take part in the Competition Law Moot Court (King’s College, London) and the French Competition Authority competition.
Interactive seminars facilitate discussion between lecturers and students (a practice-based teaching approach). In the second year of the Master’s programme, some seminars take place on-site at institutions or law firms (e.g. the French and Belgian Competition Authorities, the European Commission, the OECD, and law firms in Brussels or Paris).
Over 50 visiting professors come from foreign universities and are experts in international and European institutions and companies. Students on the Master’s 1 programme can take part in international exchange programmes such as Erasmus. In the Master’s 2 programme, students can take part in the dual degree programme with the Delaware Law School, Widener University, USA (second semester of the Master’s 2 in the United States; a dual degree comprising the Master’s 2 qualification and an LLM will be awarded).
The dual degree programme enables students to obtain 12 of the 24 credits required to sit the US bar exam.
