Program Overview

The Master's programme in Law with a staggered timetable is a joint degree programme between UCLouvain (Saint-Louis Brussels and Louvain-La-Neuve) and Unamur. This Master's degree is aimed primarily at people who have already entered professional life. Its aim is to enable students to acquire advanced legal knowledge that will be attested by the award of a university diploma giving access to the same legal professions as the master's degree in law (day course). It is a continuing education programme par excellence. As such, it is unique in the French-speaking Community of Belgium and enables students who have completed a bachelor's degree in law on a staggered timetable to complete their training. Thanks to this solid basic training, you will be able to work in a wide range of environments. Coupled with the important methodological dimension, this versatility will help you to integrate the operating mechanisms of our legal system. The lectures, given in the evenings, will enable you to assimilate the fundamental concepts and structures of each subject. You will be required to supplement the lessons with reading and preparation at home.

Career Opportunities

Lawyers can be found wherever human activity brings together parties who are committed to each other (drawing up agreements, negotiating contracts, resolving conflicts, defending interests).Lawyers' skills are also widely recognised in the business world and in the national and international civil service. Lawyers can also be found in the socio-cultural and health sectors, in journalism and in teaching.

Program Curriculum

This Master's in Law (staggered timetable) offers: a flexible timetable of four evenings a week (Monday to Thursday from 6.15pm to 9.15pm) and some Saturdays - not including optional courses and additional module courses; a solid grounding in fundamental legal subjects; the opportunity to specialise in the subjects of your choice; a course that combines theory with practical work in small groups and homework; a university degree that gives access to the same legal professions as the daytime Master's degree.

Admission Requirements

You hold a bachelor's degree in law from a university and have a professional occupation; would like to continue your training without interrupting this activity; would like to make the most of your experience; would like to acquire advanced legal knowledge as evidenced by the award of a university degree; would like to master the conceptual apparatus needed to offer a critical analysis of the law; would like to progress towards positions in interdisciplinary and international environments.
