LLM in European Competition and Intellectual Property Law
*
The market for Competition and Intellectual Property («IP») lawyers is booming. In 2004, the University of Liège created an Advanced Master programme (LL.M.) in European Competition and IP law to bridge the gap between general legal studies and the ever-increasing demand for specialist legal professionals.
Tailored to the needs of the profession, the Master in European Competition and IP law provides practical training so that students are prepared for immediate entry into a demanding, international workforce.
In addition to a comprehensive teaching programme, offering multi- disciplinary training, the LL.M. provides students with a wide-range of skills and assistance (e.g. drafting their CV, securing internships and publishing their work, …).
Thanks to its proximity to Brussels and the European Institutions, the course boasts a team of eminent practitioners and academics in the field. Reflecting our concern for an international teaching approach, lectures are in both French and English.
In Brussels and throughout Europe, our alumni provide expert advice in the fields of intellectual property, competition and business law. Our previous students now hold positions as specialized lawyers, officials of national and European competition authorities, IP and regulatory authorities, specialist consultants and researchers.
