Teaching goals

The double bachelor's degree syllabus, adapted to the European Higher Education Area, enables students to obtain the two degrees, the degree in Law and the degree in Business Management and Administration or Economics, over a period of five academic years and one term.

Training is of an economic and a legal nature with excellent complementarity and high professional demand.

Description of the course
