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.

The Master of Law programme is a stepping stone towards an interesting legal career. 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.
