Overview

The research master in law trains students to turn factual problem situations into clear legal questions and solutions. It emphasises specialised knowledge, practical legal skills and a refined methodological approach. Students gain an integrated view of Belgian, European and international law, and of how the different legal domains connect. Teaching is interdisciplinary and comparative, and staff combine academic work with legal practice or business experience. Practice opportunities include IusStart legal advice for start-ups, international moot competitions and voluntary summer placements. Visiting lecturers join the Global Law Week each year. The award is a master's degree in law.
