What you will learn in this course

What you will learn in this Master programme:

The programme, developed with the reputable Centre Européen Universitaire (CEU), is designed to achieve two principal aims:

  • - 
    to provide an initial background to the fundamental issues underlying the European integration process; and
  • - 
    to offer progressive and increasing specialisation in the vast field of European law, with a view to enabling students to deal with legal questions in a practical way.

By the end of the Master programme:

Participants who successfully conclude the programme are awarded a French Master degree: Master en études européennes - spécialité Droit de l’Union européenne delivered by the Université de Lorraine.

By the end of the course, you will be able to

  • - 
    Efficiently implement the EU directives by establishing and managing a process of consultation and coordination with governmental and non-governmental stakeholders
  • - 
    Convert contradictory political, legal and budgetary interests into practical and operational solutions
  • - 
    Reduce the risks of getting involved in time-consuming infringement probes

Career prospects

The Master’s degree in European Legal Studies is a highly valuable instrument for graduating participants in the development of their respective professional careers. For example, graduates can use it as a stepping stone to enter international organisations, the European Commission or other institutions or agencies of the EU, while those already working as EU officials may use their degree to advance their career within the EU administration. The degree also allows those participants already working as lawyers to practise in the various areas of European law. Finally, the degree can also enable graduates to pursue a professional career within any of the wide range of national administrations as well as European associations and companies (consultancy firms, European federations, lobby groups, territorial representations in Brussels, etc.) involved in the various aspects and facets of the European integration process.
