Frequently Asked Questions

What are the language requirements for the graduate programs? Do I need to know both English and French?

Graduate level courses are offered in English, and sufficient English-language abilities must be demonstrated for admission. In order to communicate fully with all law students at 海外直播b站, and to understand and participate in all courses, the ability to speak and read French is an asset. At 海外直播b站鈥檚 Faculty of Law, all students may choose to write essays, examinations and theses in English or in French.

For more information on language requirements, see Graduate Law Admissions > Requirements.

Can I apply for the LLM聽or DCL聽if I do not have a first law degree (Bachelor of Laws)?

No. As a candidate for admission to our LLM聽program, you MUST possess a Bachelor of Laws degree or an equivalent law degree from an accredited university with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0/4.0, or its equivalent (upper second class).

Are there any exceptions? If you are applying to the Air and Space Law Graduate Certificate and if you do not hold a law degree you must fulfill the following two requirements:

  1. have an undergraduate university degree in another discipline, and
  2. possess sufficient professional experience, as demonstrated by the curriculum vitae, in the fields of Air and/or Space Law to compensate for the lack of a law degree (as determined by the Graduate Admissions Committee).

For those applying to our doctoral program (DCL), only applicants demonstrating excellent academic ability will be considered. As a doctoral program applicant, you must hold both a Bachelor of Laws degree (equivalent to L3 in Europe) and a Master of Laws degree (Master 1 & 2 in Europe).

I have been notified that I have been recommended for admission by the Faculty of Law and am waiting for an answer from the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Can I assume I鈥檓 admitted? Is it normal to wait for an answer from the GPS?

海外直播b站 has a two-step admission process. The Faculty of Law does the first review of applications, and only those that are recommended by our Graduate Admissions Committee are sent to the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies of 海外直播b站 (GPS). If a file is not recommended, the candidate is not admitted.

The final decision to admit rests with the University, which conducts its own review of applicant files and makes all formal offers of admission. Usually, the University鈥檚 decision is sent to the student within two to six weeks of the date of the Faculty of Law's recommendation. Typically, the University supports the Faculty's recommendations.

For more information on the admission process, see Graduate Law Admissions > Process.
