Overview
The law faculties of the University of Leuven (KU Leuven ) and the University of Zurich offer a double degree programme which is fully taught in English. The two-year master’s programme incorporates one year of study in Leuven and another in Zurich.
The Master of Law programme at KU Leuven focuses on each institution's individual strengths: International and European Law in Leuven and Arbitration Law, Financial Law and Human Rights Law in Zurich. Switzerland enjoys a world-class reputation as a centre of arbitration and banking, and many international institutions are based there in Geneva, just as they are in Brussels, some 30km from Leuven.

As experts in European and international law, our students work in international law firms, a wide variety of public services at all levels of the government and in European and international institutions. Our graduates are also recruited by non-governmental organisations and companies in the private sector.
