Jean Monnet University – Faculty of Law

What law programs are offered?

You can start with a Bachelor’s degree (in Law or Public Administration) and either enter the job market or move on to a Master’s degree in areas like Business Law, Public Law, or International Law. These pathways can lead to careers as a legal advisor, lawyer, notary, or in the civil service. There are even work-study programs and international mobility opportunities.

Are the courses more theoretical or practical?

Forget about lectures where you don’t understand a thing. Here, you’ll work on real-life cases, role-playing exercises, practical assignments, and of course, internships in companies or law firms. Many instructors are legal professionals who bring their field experience to the classroom and are there to give you all the insights you need.

Is law school just about classes, or is there more?

Worried about spending your time buried in law books? Don’t be. The Law School in Sainté has a vibrant student life with clubs, events, and career meetups that can seriously help shape your future. And when it comes to facilities, you’ll find a library, modern classrooms, and a campus full of life.

Is it hard to find an internship or a job afterwards?

If you’re motivated, not at all. The university has connections with law firms, businesses, and the public sector. With internship offers and job fairs, you’ve got plenty of chances to step into the professional world before you even graduate. For those aiming high, the faculty also supports Judicial Studies Institute (IEJ) exam preparation.
