University of Luxembourg
The University of Luxembourg (www.uni.lu) was created in August 2003. As one of the youngest European universities, the University of Luxembourg has the exciting opportunity to take advantage of the changing environment in higher education. Moreover, many students are attracted by the multicultural and trilingual country in the heart of Europe. The University’s main focus is research. The degrees offered are mainly at Master's and doctoral level.
The University is composed of three faculties: the Faculty of Sciences, Technology and Communication, the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance, and the Faculty of Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education. The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance offers, among others, the following Masters:
Three Master Programmes focusing on European Law (LL.M.)
Stemming from the great success of the Master in European Law, the University reshaped the programme and now offers three distinct Master programmes in Law:
- Master en Droit européen LL.M
- Master en Droit économique européen LL.M
- Master en Droit financier européen et international LL.M
Due to the long European tradition of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the proximity of several European institutions such as the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Investment Bank, the European Investment Fund and the European Court of Auditors, as well as Luxembourg’s financial centre, the Master programmes in Law are strongly oriented towards European, transnational and comparative law. Students will develop high-level research skills, which may lead to PhD studies but also benefit from “real-life” applications of their acquired knowledge, as for example, via their participation in Moot Court competitions.
In several specialisations students are required to follow an internship. The teaching body consists of highly qualified professors from the University of Luxembourg and visiting professors from other universities, as well as professionals from the European Institutions and the legal profession.

Master of Science in Banking and Finance
The M.Sc. in Banking and Finance takes place at the Luxembourg School of Finance (www.lsf.lu) which is the Finance Department of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance. This Master of Science provides a specialised training into the various professions of the banking and finance areas. The educational philosophy of the M.Sc. is to further a conceptualised expertise linked to this particular sector, contrary to the MBA which trains generalists for global management. The programme is furthermore committed to creating leaders who are creative thinkers and team players. It is not a static set of directives, but a dynamic framework of analytical skills and intellectual tools. It aims at offering students a cross-functional curriculum which provides an integrated approach to solving banking and financial problems: participants will gain a better understanding of the interactive nature of making business decisions.
Students of the M.Sc. programme follow a five-day tailor-made programme at the Stern School of Business at New York University.
The Master of Science in Banking and Finance is designed for highly dedicated people willing to pursue a challenging career in the financial sector. The programme enables also some students to prepare for a Ph.D.

Master in Economics and Finance
The Master in Economics and Finance is open to students who intend to pursue a career in the finance, the banking or the insurance sector. This Master also offers the opportunity to later prepare for a doctorate (Ph.D.). In the finance sector, strong complementarities exist between the theoretical analysis tools and their professional applications. The aim of this programme is to help the students to adapt to the fast changing financial sector and to assimilate the tools resulting from the most recent research. In the second year students can choose between two tracks: the Academic and the Research.

Master in Entrepreneurship and Innovation
The University and the Chamber of Commerce of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg have initiated a partnership whose first outcome is this programme on Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
The programme is a one-year Master’s degree offered to students with backgrounds in the traditional business disciplines, in other social sciences and in scientific disciplines (biology, physics, engineering for instance). This diversity is a strength for a programme aimed at encouraging curiosity and developing an entrepreneurial spirit. The course concept interweaves theory and practice. Experienced professors from different countries will present and discuss the managerial implications of the latest evidence from academic research and case studies. Experienced practitioners will bring their know-how and practical views, and discuss their problem-solving heuristics. Each approach will have its assumptions and contentions challenged and enriched by those of the other one, a dialogue which we believe to be essential for understanding entrepreneurship. There are three tracks to choose from: General, Bio- and ICT-Entrepreneurship.
Programme details:
Degree: Master
Duration: 10 months
Annual tuition fee: € 3200
Educational variants: full-time
