Double degree in Business Administration and Law
396 credits - Faculty of Law
The Double Degree enables students to be awarded two degree titles, one in Law and the other in Business Administration (ADE), over a period of five years or five years plus one semester. The commitment in terms of time and workload will be more intensive than on a single degree (12 subjects per academic year instead of 10).
The course will run with a smaller number of students (around 40).
Double degree programmes in economics and law are highly sought after on the job market.
