Master in Business Contract Law: a strategic dual degree for legal and managerial careers
Seven of the eight eligible students from the Master in Business Law – Business Contract Law track (CA) have been admitted this year to the bar entrance exam. This result, achieved in a selective environment, confirms the strength of the dual degree offered by SKEMA Business School (only on Lille campus) and the Université Polytechnique des Hauts-de-France (UPHF). The programme equips young legal graduates to join business law firms and in-house legal departments.
“This programme trains profiles sought in business law: business lawyers, in-house counsel, contract specialists or legal experts working within finance, HR or compliance departments,” explains Diane de Saint-Affrique, law professor and founder of the Master in Business Contract Law. Aligned with the realities of the sector, the CA master’s meets the expectations of national and international companies, as well as those of business law firms that value a firm grasp of the law combined with an understanding of organisational dynamics.
This year, seven CA students were admitted to the bar entrance exam, a result that confirms the quality of the programme and the rigorous preparation delivered throughout the curriculum. “Most candidates sat the exam at Paris 1, where the eligibility rate stood at 37%,” notes Diane de Saint-Affrique.
“Our students show strong discipline throughout their preparation”
“This result rewards a collective effort. Our students showed strong discipline throughout their preparation. We designed a demanding framework that supported them at each stage of the exam. Their admission marks an important step in their legal journey,” says Diane de Saint-Affrique.
Who is this master’s designed for?
The CA Master is aimed at students who want to acquire a dual skill set in law and management, sought in companies and business law firms. It leads to careers in France and abroad, supported by a curriculum rooted in professional practice and shaped to address current business law challenges.
