Course Description
The consortium aims to complement the skills in the legal system of a graduates' home country with the acquisition of knowledge for working in various European legal systems and with a particular emphasis on the harmonization and unification of law in Europe. For such purpose, the master course focuses on its specific mobility and Continental language scheme in French, German, and Portuguese language. At the same time, its other core element is Internationality, represented by full partners from Lithuania, Switzerland, Brazil, and Vietnam where the lectures are performed in English and French.
The first two terms of the studies are carried out at one of the consortium's degree-awarding universities (primary university), while the third semester can be spent either by another degree-awarding university (DaP) or one of the partner universities in Pune, Brasilia, and Vilnius. The fourth semester concentrates on the completion of the master's thesis at the primary DaP or secondary DaP universities. The curriculum of 120 ECTS credits for 2 years is composed of modules composed of compulsory choice and free choice courses. Thus over and above the adherence to the prescribed level of proficiency students are given the opportunity to determine their academic focus by choosing their mobility on specific legal systems and their languages. Some of our partner universities offer, summer schools and internships at international law firms during their third semester.
In addition to compulsory and elective modules, students can specialize in the topic of their thesis. To alleviate this rigidity, each consortium member offers a summer academy with special modules in English.
