Master of Comparative Business Law (M.C.B.L.)

The Master of Comparative Business Law (MCBL) is an advanced academic programme providing an in-depth understanding of business law aspects of the European single market and the global market. The programme aims at providing students with competence in both comparative and business law, sharpening them in their careers as strategic decision makers in the public as well as the private sector. It offers a unique combination of traditional comparative law studies (legal methodology and the common/civil law divide) and studies in business law (e.g. competition law, contract law and company law) including trade-related aspects. Furthermore, it provides general and specific knowledge of the European Union legal framework and of the actors in international trade law. The MCBL is a high-level demanding postgraduate programme in the fields of European and international business law. The programme is designed for law graduates or graduates with a sufficient background in law who wish to pursue advanced studies to specialise in the area of business law with a comparative perspective. The MCBL is a full-time programme (one academic year) with daily classes. Courses take place (consecutively) over two semesters. The first semester focuses on European business law, whereas the second semester has an emphasis on international business law.
