For the first time UCP School of Law offers a unique national degree in French and European Union Law taught in English. It is aimed at graduates from non French jurisdictions and foreign professionals settled in France or doing business with French partners eager to acquire a strong background in French and European Union Law.

The programme combines a National Master Degree and a specialization University Degree.

Students are enrolled in a national Master Degree and choose one specialisation among two university degrees:

• LL.M. in Business & Taxation Law
• LL.M. in Law & Business Ethics

Students are therefore awarded two qualifications: one national Master Degree and one University Degree. The University Degree is integrated to the National Master Degree (Unit 3).

In addition, UCP School of Law also offers a dual LL.M./Master programme which brings together two dynamic and highly rated law schools. Students will be taught through English by acknowledged experts and will gain an in depth knowledge of a wide range of contemporary law subjects from both a common law and civil law perspective.

The programme is unique and offers two qualifications delivered in two semesters. It is aimed at graduates from non French jurisdictions and foreign professionals settled in France or doing business with French partners eager to acquire a strong background in common law and civil law.

Students enrolled on the dual qualifying LL.M./Master will graduate with an LL.M. in International Commercial Law from UOD and a national Master Degree in French and European Union Law taught in English with two specializations: Business and Taxation Law or Law and Business Ethics.

The French national Master Degree is a two years programme awarded 120 credits (ECTS), 60 credits per year.

Applicants with a Juris Doctor, LL.B. or an equivalent recognized qualification will be awarded the first year of the Master programme by equivalence and enter the second year of the Master programme.

Applicants without a an equivalent qualification are admitted to the programme within a University degree in French and European Union Law taught in English and can choose one of the two specializations.

Applicants may undertake the two distinct semesters over a period of two different academic years. In addition, students who enrol and succeed in only the first semester will receive a University Certificate.

Classes and seminars are taught by academics and by practising lawyers or other professionals. The advantage of such an association is to offer students real contacts both inside the School of Law and among the legal community. Some seminars are taught by and within international firms based in Paris.
