Introduction

This bilingual course offered by the European School of Law is designed to provide students with a thorough knowledge of the French legal system. The aim is to train high quality lawyers who are familiar with French legal tools and reasoning, as well as with the main legal principles of the common law system from a comparative perspective.

Objectives

This dual competence, the fluency in two specialised languages and the experience of student mobility are undeniable assets for lawyers wishing to work in transnational fields and, more generally, internationally.

Specificities

The first two years are based in Toulouse. The third year is spent abroad at a partner university.

Admission

Application

Conditions of admission / Conditions of successful application

Due to limited capacity, all courses at the European School of Law are subject to a selection process. In addition to the qualities required for legal studies, this course requires a very strong motivation to pursue legal studies 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).

Holders or prospective holders of the French baccalaureate or an equivalent diploma from the European Union, the European Economic Area or the Swiss Confederation must apply on the website www.parcoursup.fr between 17 January 2024 and 14 March 2024.

Candidates will be short-listed and then interviewed. The timetable and interview procedures will be finalised in the first quarter of 2024.

Other candidates should contact: esl@ut-capitole.fr

YEAR 3

The third year is spent abroad at a partner university (usually in the UK or Ireland). Students are placed according to their preferences and results. They are supervised by an academic advisor who validates their choice of courses.

Students pay enrolment fees to UT Capitole (and not to the partner university). Under certain conditions, they can benefit from mobility grants. Students who have been awarded a grant on the basis of social criteria retain their grant.

Students also have the option of taking a double degree with University College Dublin or Bangor University by spending two years abroad instead of one.

Here are some examples of mobility:

Teaching methods and resources:
In addition to the traditional approach of lectures combined with tutorials, students may be offered role-plays and practical case studies, all of which provide learning opportunities. These courses are taught in dedicated, well-equipped classrooms, lecture theatres and language laboratories. Students also have free access to a range of University resources, including computer rooms and the shared documentation service.

Internship(s)

Optional work placement at the student's own initiative. All placements require a placement agreement signed by both parties.
