About European Master in Law & Economics (EMLE)

In both law and in economics, modern young professionals are not only experts in their fields, but they are also able to work in an interdisciplinary fashion. So-called â€œtransversal skillsâ€ that allow professionals to work in such an interdisciplinary manner are the key to success in todayâ€™s labour market. Attending the EMLE programme, which has been committed to delivering graduate education at the intersection between law and economics for over 25 years, will allow you to develop these skills. EMLE creates an atmosphere of internationality through its students and its universities, providing both a learning experience for its scholars and a desirable trait for future employers. The combination of law and economics fosters an atmosphere of idea sharing and introduces different techniques for examining and handling problems. EMLE is forging a path in producing future lawyers and economists equipped with an interdisciplinary background ready to handle the multidimensional challenges of European and international business and law. The programme covers one academic year, for which successful students will receive 60 ECTS. The academic year is divided into three trimesters. It starts at the beginning of October and ends in June. Students may study at up to three different universities, but they cannot spend all trimesters in the same location. Students can choose to follow one of threeÂ different tracks in the EMLE programme:Â Economic Analysis of Markets, Corporations & Regulators (MCR) Economic Analysis of Public & International Law (Public) Economic Analysis of Innovation and Intellectual Property (IP) Successful students will receive an official degree from every partner university at which they spend a trimester (LLM titles or Master's titles equivalent to an LLM / system of joint/multiple degrees).
