It also serves as intensive preparation for the TOLES (Test Of Legal English Skills), for which the University of Montpellier is an examination center.
The aim of this diploma and certification is to offer students greater opportunities to work in French and international law firms interested in this opening onto Anglo-Saxon legal culture. Successful completion of this certification attests to a B2 or C1 level (Council of Europe)
