AIMS
The DU of Comparative Legal Studies trains students in the methodology and comparative research as well as in the study of foreign law;The study of foreign law (Common Law, Romano-Germanic, Asian, Arab-Muslim systems) is essential for any legal career in the light of the contemporary internationalisation of law.
The DU offers a diploma in comparative law with teachings in private law and public law as well as through a pluridisciplinary approach (including linguistics, theory, anthropology, history, and economics).
It is very complementary to other degrees, especially Masters, which increasingly integrate international and comparative prerequisites. It thus offers a solid training in foreign law, learned from a theoretical and practical perspective, to practitioners and future researchers operating in an international context.
