Master Program for Law Students and Lawyers

The joint Master Program in Law of the Suffolk University and the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences (ÁJTK) of ELTE, which has run with great success since 2006, has been announced again this year. Applications should be submitted until the 29th of March.

The „LL.M. in US and Global Business Law for International Business Lawyers" will be held in Budapest between 11-13 July 2010, by the Suffolk University Law School, Boston, Massachusetts and the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences (ÁJTK) of ELTE in cooperation. Within the framework of the three-year program, courses can be visited in the form of a two-week summer university organised yearly in Budapest, expectably during the same period for each of the three years. 24 credits should be acquired for obtaining a degree, and 8 credits are available in a summer program.

Organisers expect applications from fifth-year or PhD students and practising lawyers, and a further condition is an advanced level English language certificate. If it is enabled by the scholarship budget of ELTE, applicants to this institution can receive a reduction of tuition fees. Applications will be judged in order of arrival, until 29 March 2010.
