In 2016 KSU has launched two international LL.M degree programmes, which are also open to the legal practitioners who wish to attend just several courses and obtain the post qualification training certificate.

Post qualification training certificate can be obtained within the framework of these Master programmes:
The courses in both LL.M programmes are practice-oriented and cover latest developments, main actual problems and proposed solutions in certain field, and are taught by legal expertise from prestigious European universities such as:

• Brunel Law School (Great Britain),
• University of Hamburg (Germany),
• Ghent university (Belgium),
• College of Europe (Belgium),
• University of Geneva (Switzerland),
• Business School Lausanne (Switzerland),
• Central European University (Hungary).

Each course in the programme is taught 4 hours/day and consists of 20 hours (6 ECTS). KSU Law faculty organizes post qualification courses using the module system meaning that each course is taught within one week.

The participant who is interested in obtaining a post qualification certificate can choose to attend one or more courses and is free to choose whether or not he/she will participate in the final exam. In the case the participant chooses to take the final exam, he will be provided with final certificate, which includes the number of earned ECTS (6 ECTS/course) that are recognized at the university level.

Meanwhile if the participant chooses just to attend the course(s)– he/she will be provided with final attendance certificate without ECTS, which is also recognized as post qualification training.

PRICE OF POST QUALIFIKATION TRAINING:
400 EUR per course (attendance of the course and post qualification training certificate).
300 EUR final exam (exam and post qualification training certificate with 6 ECTS).

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 01.09.2016
