Introduction

Objectives

The aim of this dual training is not only to provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge of the French and German legal systems, but also to offer them a comparative perspective. The programme is taught in French for French law and in German for German law.

The study of French and German law provides students with a rich and complementary training, enabling them to easily grasp the contributions and challenges of European law.
This dual legal expertise, fluency in two specialised languages and experience of student mobility are essential assets for working at national and international level. The aim of this dual training programme is to produce experts with a mastery of French and German law, a strong analytical capacity and an excellent grasp of legal techniques, as well as dual language skills.

At the end of the three-year programme, students receive a law degree and a diploma from the German university. The Licence de Droit (Bachelor of Law) is awarded by the Université Toulouse Capitole and the Certificate of German Law by the University of Passau or the University of Mannheim.

Admission

Prerequisite

Prerequisites training

Due to limited capacity, all programmes at the European School of Law are subject to selection. In addition to the qualities required for legal studies, this Franco-German 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 German (at least level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

Further studies

The Bachelor's degree gives access to a Master's degree in Law, including a Master's degree in International and European law. Due to the specific nature of legal studies in Germany, the Certificate in German Law alone does not entitle students to pursue legal studies in Germany with a view to obtaining the German professional qualification.
