Two-Year Master Program (120 ECTS)

Programme organization



Except for the "Interuniversity Mobility" focus, students will choose their focus in the second year of Master. Student may ask to share the master's compulsory courses out between the two years. Nevertheless, they have to pay attention to the consequences of this planning with regard to the choice of the focus.



Languages

During each year of Master, students must choose a course in a foreign language from the compulsory courses list (one couse in European law is indeed available in English) or from optional / focus courses list.

Students registered at the inter-university focus are exempted from this obligation during the year of their trip if they go one semester, and during two years if they go one year. Courses choosen in host university must be given in a language other than french.

Specialised approach Masters, whose final orientation will be decided in the 2nd year of the Masters
