The FLD Experience
I chose to join the European Law Degree in order to practice law in several languages. I was immediately very interested in learning about different legal systems, especially through courses taught by professors from all over the world. I especially enjoyed learning about European law and quickly realized that it is essential for lawyers to know how it applies to our legal system. I was able to solidify and put into practice my knowledge through several internships that are an integral part of the degree. I was also able to benefit from the support and advice of the professors and the administration throughout the license, which reassured me enormously in my professional career. At the beginning of the 2019 academic year, I joined the Master in European and International Law 100% in English and I am delighted to continue my studies at the Faculty of Law where I have flourished during these first 3 years.
