Career opportunities
Luxembourg is one of the capitals of the European Union and a leading financial centre in Europe, offering several career opportunities to our graduates. Alumni have found positions at the European institutions, national governments, banking and finance institutions, in law firms, and as members of the judiciary.
Objectives
The Master is designed to offer a deepening and widening of the knowledge which students were able to acquire during their Bachelor degree.
The first year is as well a necessary condition for access to further professional training in Law. It offers an ideal springboard to the world’s best specialised programmes in European law.
Career perspectives
The highly-specialised Master in Law programmes, taught in French and English at the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance, give students an excellent starting point for their careers and a competitive advantage compared to graduates from many other programmes.
Upon completing their Master in Law programme (first and second year) students may also choose to pursue their academic studies with a PhD, with positions regularly available at the University of Luxembourg.
To work as a lawyer in Luxembourg, unless already qualified as a lawyer in another EU member state, graduates must successfully pass the Luxembourg bar exam. This requires proficiency in several legal subjects and familiarity with the Luxembourgish language, as well as French and German.
