PRÉSENTATION
This program is open to law graduates who wish to develop a career in international business law.
The program is intensive and fast paced bringing the students on a high growth learning experience across the 10 months of the
program.
This program will introduce students to core topics in international business law and develop their understanding of policy and
doctrine through a combination of exams and group and individual assignments.
International
Our students have the choice between three different tracks:
• Lyon Track is a programme entirely taught in English in Lyon, France.
• London Track offers students the opportunity to attend a Dual Law Programme taught in English at City Law School, City
University London and UCLy Law School.
• Maynooth Track offers them the possibility to attend a Dual Law Programme taught in English at UCLy and NUI Maynooth Law
School.
The MIBL degree offers the possibility of a dual degree delivered by the Lyon Catholic University on the one hand and the City
Page 1
University London Law School or the Department of Law at NUI Maynooth on the other hand. It will enable law graduates to
further their legal education by gaining a systematic understanding of the critical issues at the forefront of select areas of
international business law.
It also aims to develop legal research, reasoning, writing, advocacy and teamwork skills. These skills are highly sought after by
employers.
Since June 2012, in the frame of our agreement with the Widener Law School in Delaware (USA), three of our students can spend
their second semester in the USA on their campus as exchange students. This is an opportunity to discover a new legal system with
an eye to local corporate law and live a very different educational experience during the studies.
Two of our students are offered free positions within the European Business Law summer school at the EBS Universität in
Wiesbaden (Germany) that usually takes place in June.

Spécificités
“The LLM in International Business Law (dual degree) was a wonderful opportunity not only
to receive a dual qualification but also to experience the wonders of studying abroad .
Studying abroad opened my mind and allowed me to mature andgrow as a person, and
intellectually. I did not have a strong base in the French language, but this was not a problem, as
the lectures were in English, and classes in French of all levels were provided by the University.
Rent was extremely reasonable in Lyon and the French Government provide rent assistance to all
students studying in France. This LLM not only prepares you on an intellectual level, but
also allows you to travel and experience different cultures, and have fun at the same time.” Emer Shannon

“Le choix du bon programme est une décision très importante. Voici quelques raison pour
lesquelles j’ai choisi ce double programme LL.M/ Master 1
• quand on est à la recherche d’un travail ou d’un stage, on peut voir dans 90% des cas que les
recruteurs cherchent des personnes avec un profil international, un très bon niveau
d’anglaiset notamment un LL.M.
• Ce programme allie un master 1 français ainsi qu’un LL.M, tous les deux en droit des
affaires internationales. C’est le seul programme de ce type en France.
• L’Irlande est un pays magnifique mais aussi une puissance économique qui se démarque en
Europe puisque de nombreuses multinationales ont leurs sièges là-bas.
• Le département de droit offre une grande diversité dans ses cours, dispensés par des docteurs en droit mais aussi des avocats
provenant des plus grands cabinets anglo saxons.
• l’administration et les professeurs répondent toujours présents et vite en cas de soucis.
• il y a une grande diversité d’activités à faire sur le campus et les Irlandais sont bien connus pour leur gentillesse.
Donc n’hésitez pas à prendre cette opportunity! En tant qu’étudiante française, ce programme m’a ouvert les portes des
masters 2 les plus sélectifs en France.”
