Corporate Law - 214 - Master's Year 2
Programme objectives
The Master 2 in Business Law trains highly operational business lawyers, equipped to join leading law firms and in-house legal departments immediately after graduation. To achieve this objective, the programme is built around several key strengths:
- A strong focus on professional development: Courses are taught mainly by legal practitioners, and around forty meetings with leading law firms take place throughout the academic year.
- Innovative and immersive teaching methods: Legal clinics, mock trials and transaction simulations give students hands-on experience throughout the programme.
- A multidisciplinary approach: The programme combines private and public law and incorporates non-legal subjects such as accounting and financial analysis.
- A programme aligned with the evolving business law landscape: Teaching evolves in line with developments in the field, including the use of artificial intelligence and blockchain regulation.
- A strong international dimension: Courses taught in English and study trips abroad throughout the year expose students to the international challenges and practices of the legal profession.
- Strong links with legal research: An annual conference and student articles published in a legal journal strengthen the connection between academic research and professional training.
- A strong emphasis on interpersonal and professional skills: Numerous interactions with legal professionals and an active student association prepare students for the professional environment and the expectations of the legal profession.
- A strong reputation and professional network: These strengths have enabled the programme to establish solid partnerships with leading law firms and companies, providing graduates with access to a valuable professional network.
