'Master Complementaire'

Hi,
I am really interested in this course for 2008/2009 but I am rather confused by the admissions requirements. It is described as a Master Complementaire not just a masters course; what does this mean? I have completed an LLB (with French) and would now like to study Compettion further so this sounds like an ideal course for me! Can anyone help?!
Many thanks!

Hello,

I can't help you with the administrative questions, but I can only advise you to take contact with the ieje secretary. The administrative staff is really thoughtful and will answer you entirely and quickly !

I think that with a LLB you satisfy the admission requirements and should be able to join the course. In the continental system, Master complementaire means the last year of studies which you undertake. By contrast to previous years, this year focuses on a specific subject.

Unortunately, I don't agree with the previous post. I don't think that with LLB you can be qualified to pursue the LLM in Liege. To get in you must hold already a Master degree. See here: www.droit.ulg.ac.be/ieje/fileadmin/IEJE/Pdf/ULG-IE… page 27. I took this LLM last year and everybody had already a Master degree, no matter from which country they were from.

The name of the LLM ''Master complementaire'' can be confusing here but the program is defnitely aimed for people who already did the 1st cycle of law studies (which is Master) and want to go further into specific field, here competition and IP.

However, the best option would be to cotnact the secretariat of IEJE and ask M. Langevin, she is always very helpful.

In any case, good luck with the application.

Actually you can. I met someone from Liege and asked the question. Answer is yes, apparently, they already admitted someone with LLB for next year.

Indeed, in certain circumstances, even LLB can be admitted. Do not hesitate to apply.

A Master Complémentaire is like a "LL.M.", but with a specialisation in a field... The program lasts one year.
Before the Bologna reform, the name was DES (diplome en étude spécialisée).
This is the reason why you will find Master complémentaire en droit européen, droit social, droit fiscal, droit économique, droit international des affaires, droit international public...

The name "complémentaire" explains that a European Student needs to have a bachelor AND a normal master degree. But with a LLB, you can access because the LLB is the equivalent of the normal master degree.
