Programme structure

The program consists of a 150-credit law major. The major is made up of three categories of teaching units that differ in content:
teaching units (UE) in law: namely, two teaching units in theoretical and critical reflection on law, and several teaching units devoted to the rules of law actually in force (essentially in Belgium and the European Union);
a set of teaching units (UE) in the humanities: philosophy, economics, history, sociology, psychology ;
and finally, UEs in languages other than French:

  • in the first annual block of the bachelor's program, students take two language courses: Dutch and English. Dutch is organized at "elementary" level for students who did not take Dutch during their secondary education. Supervision is offered for English;
  • in the second "typical" annual block of the bachelor's program, students take legal terminology: "Nederlandse rechtstaal" and "Legal english".
  • in the third annual block of the bachelor's program, students follow "Introduction to comparative law" and Sociaal Recht - social law course.

In addition to this major, the program includes 30 minor credits.
