FLD experience
My name is Zeina Ayyad and I come from Palestine. I decided to enroll in The LL.M in international & European Law because I regarded it to be the optimal choice as it allowed me to be in France and study in English. This way I could pursue my studies while practicing the French language in one of the biggest student cities in Europe. The Programme is excellent : many of the professors are practicing experts in their fields this allowed us to learn from their real-life expériences. The programme also allows the students to participate in international Moot Courts. The Moot Courts are the perfect Opportunity for law students to develop their writing and public speaking skills. The welcome faculty members makes the adjustment even easier, they do an excellent job of making it feel like home.
