Queen Mary University of London, UK, launches new Master of Laws (LLM) in Paris

Queen Mary University of London, UK, has launched a new postgraduate law degree for students and law practitioners in Paris, France.

The LLM in Paris has been developed by Queen Mary’s Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS). The program will focus on areas of commercial law including banking and finance law, intellectual property, international dispute resolution and economic law.

The new LLM will start in January 2013, has a flexible structure with two intakes a year - January and September, with teaching being held in the evening or in intensive block course over five consecutive days. Courses will be taught in English by Queen Mary academics, with visiting lecturers from French law firms and other schools and universities.

The Paris LLM has been established through a long-standing partnership between Queen Mary and the University of London Institute in Paris (ULIP). Teaching will take place at ULIP’s central office in the 7th arrondissement.

A further partnership with the Paris Bar School, EFB, has been devised to allow the bar students to validate the Queen Mary LLM in Paris as part of their training (PPI). In addition, CCLS has arranged an informal partnership with SciencesPo Law School, which will allow students of the Queen Mary Paris LLM to participate in certain selected courses and seminars of SciencesPo Law and vice versa.
