In accessing the Second Cycle, priority is given to graduates who have completed the First Cycle with a total of 240 credits. Overseas students must have completed a degree (8 semesters minimum) in a recognised academic institution.

Provided certain conditions are met the Faculty may admit non-law graduates with relevant academic records and/or professional experience.

Evaluation rules

1. Evaluation consists of a final written exam at the end of the first two semesters. Other elements can be taken into account as long as students are duly informed of what is going to be considered. Different methods of evaluation may exceptionally be authorised by the Scientific Council. Students may sit exams only once per term. Those who fail may resit exams only at the end of the following term. The third semester, which culminates in a public oral examination in front of a jury, is spent working on a dissertation, project or internship report.

2. The degree of Master of Law is awarded to those who have successfully completed courses with a total of 60 credits, and obtained a B (Bom) for their dissertation, project or internship report. This mark is calculated as an arithmetic average of two elements:

a) The arithmetic average of the eight highest marks obtained by the student;

b) The mark given by the jury to the submitted dissertation, project or internship report.
