This online LLM in international law, representing 26 US credits (40-45 ECTS) is one of the world’s only two LLM degree programs offered in active cooperation with an intergovernmental organization constituted under international law (the other being offered by the European University Institute).
In partnership with EUCLID (Pôle Universitaire Euclide | Euclid University), an international intergovernmental organization with a university mandate, EULER offers to select students from the general public an external (distance or online) degree program called the EUCLID LLM in International Law(Master of Laws).
As a public non-profit institution established in private-public partnership, EULER is able to offer affordable, low-tuition programs.
This unique LLM degree focuses on the actual practice of States and intergovernmental organizations, rather than the advancement of academic knowledge for its own sake.
This LLM in International Law is meant to be used by attorneys (lawyers) and professional diplomats, and can be considered an excellent route to pursue a career within governmental bodies, international law firms, NGOs and international organizations.
Thanks to its low tuition and institutional relationships, it is designed to be of special interest to African students.
Within certain parameters, the EULER Online LLM in International Law is customizable, with elective courses focusing on:
Applicants should have a relevant Bachelor’s degree (LLB or similar) issued by an institution listed in the UNESCO-IAU handbook/database.

EUCLID may require these participants to complete bridge courses prior to enrolling in the program. Fluency in English (spoken and written) is required and will be tested. Students are expected to be in a position to dedicate 10 to 15 effective hours of study on a weekly basis.
