Studieprogramma Master of Laws
De masteropleiding heeft een tweedelig modeltraject: twee opeenvolgende delen van 60 studiepunten per academiejaar (als je voltijds studeert). Deze opleiding is volledig Engelstalig.
Het aantal studiepunten geven je een goed beeld van de tijd die je zal besteden aan je opleiding en aan elk opleidingsonderdeel. Per studiepunt moet je rekenen op 25 tot 30 uren studeren, lessen volgen en examens afleggen.
Je stelt je studieprogramma grotendeels zelf samen onder bepaalde voorwaarden.
