Bemerkungen

All courses are also part of the study plan of the LL.M. in International Business Law of the University of Lausanne.

If the holder of a CAS Climate subsequently registers for the LL.M. Programme, the 10 ECTS of the CAS can be credited toward the LL.M. degree; in this case, however, the LL.M. degree certificate replaces the CAS, which must be returned to the Formation Continue UNIL-EPFL.
