Hi everyone,
I'm scheduled for graduation this year and am interested in doing an LL.M in European Law, with the end goal of working in one of the institutions. My only problem is that while I've studies French as a second language, I've been neglecting it and it really isn't up to par. My hope is that by studying in a French-speaking country (or indeed even doing a course partially in French) that I could obtain a necessary degree of fluency by the time I graduate so that at least I won't have that barrier when looking for a job.
I know that everyone mentions Bruges, but it's very competitive and I think that linguistically I mightn't be acceptable. Any suggestions would be a big help. Reading through these forums can be even more confusing as it seems that a lot of commenters have their own agenda.
P.S. I will most likely graduate with a high 2:1, or if I'm very lucky just scrape the 1:1.
Thanks.

There is a LL.M. in European law from Assas University in Paris (European College Paris), which is 10,000 (in English). Assas is recognized as THE university for law in France.
There's also a LL.M. from Sorbonne, but it's financial law I guess.

Je suis une avocate mexicaine, certes, mais une avocate mexicaine très différente de celle qui est arrivée à Paris en Septembre 2013 pour entreprendre ce voyage extraordinaire : le LL.M. de droit français et de droit européen à lUniversité Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. A quelques jours dachever mes études dans le cadre de ce programme, j'atteste volontiers que toutes mes attentes ont été comblées et même largement dépassées. Cette expérience est sans doute la plus enrichissante qui soit ! Après plusieurs années au sein de grands cabinets (et une expertise en droit international des affaires, fiscal, boursier, bancaire et financier), j'étais très exigeante vis-à-vis de l'institution universitaire d'accueil qu'est l'école de droit de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne car à l'époque soucieuse de quitter ma position de collaboratrice dans un cabinet davocats international pour partir en France une année complète. Non seulement lenseignement assuré a été dune qualité exceptionnelle mais jai aussi développé un réseau international de confrères dans le monde entier dont jai beaucoup appris. De plus, jai pu vivre Paris comme je n'aurai jamais autrement pu le faire : je garderai un souvenir ému de nos visites et séjours d'études, mais aussi et surtout de soirées entre amis de promotion. Le stage de fin de formation maura enfin permis de découvrir les dessous d'une grande institution française et de réaliser que j'ai pu mettre à profit les connaissances acquises en cours de formation théorique des sept premiers mois. Je rentre bientôt pour poursuivre ma carrière professionnelle et je suis sûre et certaine qu'elle sera bonifiée par cette ouverture vers linternational que m'a offert cette formation que j'ai trouvé absolument exceptionnelle !
