Objectives
This dual expertise, fluency in two specialised languages and experience of student mobility are undeniable assets for lawyers planning to work abroad.
Students will be introduced to both the French and English legal systems simultaneously from the beginning of their studies, in order to encourage them to compare the different approaches and legal tools used in each system. In this way, students will be able to understand the differences and similarities between the French and English systems.

Conditions of admission / Conditions of successful application
Due to limited capacity, all programmes at the European School of Law Toulouse are subject to selection. In addition to the qualities required for legal studies, this French-English double degree requires a very strong motivation to study law in a multicultural context (compulsory period of study in a partner university) and a solid command of French and English (at least level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). To make the most of this demanding programme, you will need to pass your baccalauréat with honours.
