    LL.M. International Business Law 2025 – Paris

    “Having the opportunity to be part of the exchange program to Singapore was truly one of the highlights of my LL.M. journey, it’s an experience I will carry with me forever, both professionally and personally.

    Living in a place so different from what I was used to allowed me to grow in many ways. Singapore is a vibrant and modern city, where cultures meet and coexist beautifully. It gave me the feeling that everything and everyone is organized and has a place to be. From the buzzing food markets to the peaceful green spaces, every corner has something to offer. But more than that, it’s a place that teaches you about discipline, innovation, and diversity.

    Studying in Assas International, located in the INSEAD campus was a privilege. The energy of the place, the quality of the courses, and the openness to explore new ideas made it incredibly enriching. We were lucky to be taught by professors who are not only brilliant academics but also inspiring practitioners who have built truly international careers — something I deeply aspire to.

    What made this exchange even more special was the human connection. Spending time with fellow students outside of our usual routines created a unique bond. We learned from each other, shared laughter over meals, and discovered new places together. Singapore’s location also gave us the chance to explore nearby countries during weekends, adding even more depth to the experience.

    This exchange was not only about studying abroad, it was about discovering a new rhythm of life, challenging my perspectives, and making memories that will stay with me for a long time. I’m deeply grateful for it.”

    LL.M. International Business Law 2024 – Paris

    “If you’re still in the process of considering which destination to choose, I would highly recommend considering the International Business Law program at Paris-Panthéon-Assas.

    The mix of practical classes and theoretical courses taught by prominent scholars from Paris-Panthéon-Assas allows us to grasp the basics of International Business Law from different perspectives, starting from corporate M&A, Intellectual Property, Competition Law, and so on and so forth.

    Having classes in both local and foreign legal firms in Paris, including a number of British and US legal firms from ‘magic circles’, was a great opportunity to build a powerful network.

    The program is a great opportunity for those of us who are planning to pursue a legal career in France, as it allows us to network with partners from renowned firms. This is how I got a job here in Paris!

    Not only does the LLM has an excellent academic program, but it also provides students with very pleasant experiences such as tours in Paris (visiting the Senate, for instance), and aims at giving us knowledge of how the law works in France.

    It was a really beneficial experience for me and my classmates and I’m really grateful for Paris-Panthéon-Assas.

    If you’re in the beginning of your legal career or are looking for additional background in International Business Law, then this LLM definitely must be on your list.”

    “The LL.M. in European Law was an enrichment in every respect. Academically, the program was extremely diverse, not only due to the different areas of EU law that were taught, but also thanks to the various professors from the Paris-Panthéon-Assas university as well as from other universities all over Europe, including their respective teaching and examination styles. The possibility to choose a seminar taught in French or to write a paper allowed students to individualize the program according to their preferences. The size of the seminars led to lively interaction and exciting discussions.

    Highlights included study trips to Luxembourg, Brussels and Strasbourg – those also gave us some practical insights into how European law works in practice and what career opportunities there are in this area. Thanks to the LL.M. I met inspiring people from all over the world.
    In conclusion I can only say that I had the best time studying and living in Paris!”

    LL.M. Public Law and Democracy 2024 – Paris

    “There is no better place to explore Public Law and Democracy than at Paris-Panthéon-Assas Université! The LL.M. program, offered in partnership with the Institut Michel Villey, provides a unique blend of public law, legal theory, and the study of democracy. As someone who was already practicing law, I realized there was still so much to learn about the intricate concepts of governance, democracy, and their broader implications. This program has opened numerous doors for me, as well as invaluable insights and opportunities, more specifically in international law.

    I’m deeply grateful for having had the chance to study at one of Europe’s most renowned legal institutions. Being surrounded by students with impressive academic and professional backgrounds pushed me to be better in every way. Throughout my time in this LL.M., I was privileged to learn from leading French and international scholars who not only imparted knowledge but also inspired us. The program included enriching experiences, such as visits to the Sénat, the Assemblée Nationale, the Conseil Constitutionnel and the Cour Nationale du Droit d’Asile, which provided firsthand exposure to democratic institutions in action.

    The connections I made and the community we built are sources of pride for me. This LL.M. has been more than an academic pursuit. I encourage you to join this exceptional journey.”

  • Stavros Tsiovolos

    Valedictorian 24′ LL.M. AWArDS – Paris

    “The LL.M. AWArDS provides a perfectly crafted balance between academic excellence and practical experience. The University of Panthéon-Assas rightly bears the title as one of the leading universities in Europe. This distinction combined with the teaching by distinguished professors of arbitration and international law provides all those academic prerequisites for academic excellence. However, what distinguishes this master’s degree is the teaching by seasoned practitioners of international arbitration. A first-hand experience with top-tier law firms arms the candidate with the practical background to further excel his/hers professional advancement. The modules are structured in a way as to prepare the candidate for the international arbitration practice. Moot-courts, memorial drafting and oral advocacy assessments lead to the creation of a complete profile of the candidate.

    As arbitration in its essence is inclusive, so is this LL.M. by establishing one of the most diverse communities. Thus, the candidate is offered the rare opportunity to obtain valuable knowledge of common and civil law background. Post graduation, I have received an offer from one of the leading international arbitration law firms in Paris, and this underlines perfectly the prestige of the LL.M. AWArDS and its international recognition.”
