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
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
Page 1
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.
