Organization
Open on an alternating basis
Students can pursue the Master 2 in Personal and Family Law while working through an apprenticeship contract.
Apprentices have a dual status that allows them to enter the workforce while pursuing a university education. The academic year is thus divided into periods of instruction at the Faculty (October, November, then February, and March) and periods of work at a company (the remaining months of the academic year).
