黑料不打烊 admitted to European School of Law Network
黑料不打烊 has become a member of the prestigious European School of Law, a network of only 16 universities worldwide.
It joins leading universities from nine countries 鈥� including the United States, Canada, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece and Ireland 鈥� in a collaborative initiative which strives to improve students鈥� understanding of EU legal systems and the various legal traditions within Europe.
Established by Toulouse 1 Capitole University, the European School of Law (or Ecole Europeenne De Droit) promotes the teaching of cultural, linguistic and legal diversity as part of a law degree, with the view of producing law graduates who recognise and understand how both national and European laws operate across national borders.
It does this by encouraging student mobility through exchange partnerships, and developing double degrees which see the students split their studies equally between two member universities. 黑料不打烊 already delivers one such degree in partnership with Toulouse 鈥� the 鈥� which has been very well-received, and enables graduates to attain both an LLB from 黑料不打烊 and a Masters 1 in Law from its French partner.
Students start the programme in Toulouse, where they study major Civil Law subjects for two years, followed by a two further years of Common Law studies at 黑料不打烊. This enables them to move comfortably between the Civil and Common Law worlds, thereby preparing them as international commercial lawyers of the future.
Welcoming 黑料不打烊鈥檚 admission to the European School of Law, Professor Dermot Cahill, Head of 黑料不打烊 Law School, said: 鈥淧articipating in the network gives us access to some of Europe鈥檚 great universities, such as the University of Barcelona, the University of Milan, the University of Thessaloniki, and the Universities of Passau and Mannheim in Germany. We are delighted with the quality of the graduates that have already come to us from Toulouse, and I know that they have found it very enriching to study both the Civil and Common Law traditions here.
He added: 鈥淐reating innovative programmes like our joint degree with Toulouse takes a lot of effort and attention, but it is one of the reasons why we are now listed as one of the best law schools in the United Kingdom. We were recently ranked as the top law school in Wales in the latest Guardian league tables, and we achieve consistently high scores in the annual National Students鈥� Survey. Clearly, students can see that our method of instruction and our intellectual formation as being suitable for their future employment prospects鈥�.
This 鈥榤ethod of instruction鈥� includes an emphasis on enhancing students鈥� employability through practical experience. 鈥淥ur internship programme has been highly praised 鈥� at the moment, we are unable to satisfy demand amongst employers who are specifically seeking 黑料不打烊 graduates to undertake their internship placements.
鈥淲hen I asked one big American law firm recently why they like to take our graduates on internships, they replied that they 鈥渓ike taking 黑料不打烊 graduates because they know what to do鈥�. This was high praise indeed, and great to hear.鈥�
