The Faculty of Law and European and International Political Studies comprises seven departments.
"Welcome to the Faculty of Law and European and International Political Studies! Founded in 1875, our Faculty welcomes young women and men from diverse backgrounds who are looking for an environment that fosters the study of Law and Political Science and, more broadly, seeking a university experience enriched by a wide range of opportunities."
The Lyon Law School offers several undergraduate programmes in Law. These programmes follow the Faculty’s distinctive educational model, contributing to the training of highly qualified legal professionals.
Located on UCLy’s Alpes Europe campus, the Annecy Law School offers undergraduate programmes that combine a strong foundation in legal principles, an international outlook and personalised support, with particular emphasis on cross-border issues.
Founded in 1985, the IDHL has an academic mission focused on education and training in Law, International and European Law, with particular emphasis on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
The Institute of Business Law builds on a long-standing tradition that dates back to the founding of UCLy in 1875, when this field of study was already a distinguished part of its Faculty of Law. Initially focused on domestic law, the Business Law program has continuously evolved to reflect the changing legal landscape by incorporating both European and international dimensions, while maintaining a strong commitment to excellence in legal expertise and ethical values.
Founded in 2026, the School of European and International Political Studies prepares the next generation of professionals and leaders in European and international governance. It equips students with the knowledge and skills to understand today’s global challenges, analyse public policies, and take meaningful action in an ever-changing world.
The Global Law School provides academic education and training in Law and legal systems, where, depending on the skills required, expertise in European and International Law, Comparative Law and, in particular, the major neighbouring legal systems (the United Kingdom and Ireland), in addition to French Law, is a decisive asset.
