Students are required to submit an LL.M. dissertation, on a subject of their choice, related to one or more of the modules taught and supervised by an academic staff member. Students choose the subject of their thesis during the first or second semester of their studies, upon consultation with their academic supervisor. The dissertation must be written by each student individually and must be the result of their original scientific research. It is written in English (18.000-22.000 words). Students will present their research before a 3-member academic panel, who will grade the dissertation.
