Hello there!

I was considering to apply for the bilingual LL.M. in EU Competition & IP Law in Liège.
The problem is that I'm not a lawyer, but I have a background in law & economics.
Do you think is it worth doing an LLM in Liege for a non-lawyer to get into the Brussel job market?
My goal is to get into the EU Institutions, or working for consultancies, organisations dealing with competition and antitrust.

Thanks in advance

A friend of mine did the LLM at Liège and got an internship at DG Competition afterwards. So I would think that it is a good way to get started.

One of the Professors teaching at Liege is Petit N., who is well-known in the field of competition law. That uni is also engaging in topics such as the RP between competition law & new technologies, which is an emerging subject nowadays. If you're interested in competition etc, getting a degree in this specialisation in the hub of competition law in Europe looks good on your CV.

EU Commission's DG COMP frequently recruit economists with a strong background in Industrial Organization for backing its case law analysis.

The LLM in Liege, although mainly about law, also provide useful insight on economics!
