The FLD Experience

“I chose the European Law Degree largely because of its international outlook, reputation and academic excellence. I knew few courses in France offered the opportunity to complete a law degree with 50% of the courses taught in English, which is an essential asset in today's job market. The FLD has given me so much, both academically and personally: the opportunity to interact with several professors was very enriching, as expectations differ depending on the subject. As a result, I had to adapt quickly and be highly responsive. It helped me a lot during my various internships. In fact, I had the opportunity to find several job experiences thanks to a job dating event organized by the university! During the three years of my bachelor's degree, I was able to meet incredible people from different countries who were determined to succeed. Thanks to such profiles, one feels motivated to study and endure the intensity of the courses. Of course, this programme taught me a lot and reinforced my decision to pursue such rewarding studies. After completing my bachelor's degree, I took the Master's in European Law & Litigation at the FLD and joined KPMG Luxembourg as a Junior Advisor.``
