Introduction

The Master's programme in Law with a staggered timetable is a joint degree programme between UCLouvain (Saint-Louis Brussels and Louvain-La-Neuve) and Unamur.

This Master's degree is aimed primarily at people who have already entered professional life. Its aim is to enable students to acquire advanced legal knowledge that will be attested by the award of a university diploma giving access to the same legal professions as the master's degree in law (day course).

It is a continuing education programme par excellence. As such, it is unique in the French-speaking Community of Belgium and enables students who have completed a bachelor's degree in law on a staggered timetable to complete their training.

Thanks to this solid basic training, you will be able to work in a wide range of environments. Coupled with the important methodological dimension, this versatility will help you to integrate the operating mechanisms of our legal system. The lectures, given in the evenings, will enable you to assimilate the fundamental concepts and structures of each subject. You will be required to supplement the lessons with reading and preparation at home.

Lawyers can be found wherever human activity brings together parties who are committed to each other (drawing up agreements, negotiating contracts, resolving conflicts, defending interests).
Lawyers' skills are also widely recognised in the business world and in the national and international civil service. Lawyers can also be found in the socio-cultural and health sectors, in journalism and in teaching.
