Overview
The Master of Laws at KU Leuven has a marked international dimension with European law being an important focus. The international and European foci are strong for all LL.M. students, whether in the public law of business law specialisations, given KU Leuven's close proximity to the central EU institutions in Brussels. The programme taps into the knowledge and expertise of a large network of legal professionals who have close links to the European institutions.
The advanced LL.M. programme includes a visit to Luxemburg where the students attend a hearing at the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg in the first semester and a visit to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg in the second semester. In Strasbourg, our LL.M. students will further have the opportunity to engage in a discussion on current issues in international affairs with the staff members of the Council of Europe and the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
Career opportunities
Given its philosophy grounded in European law, its highly skilled teaching staff and its openness to the study and practice of various types of law, this in combination with its close proximity to Brussels, the KU Leuven LLM adds significant value for students seeking legal careers in Europe.
