Key features

Unique in Belgium, the English-taught Bachelor of Arts (BA) in International and European Law (180 ECTS)* at the Brussels School of Governance provides the knowledge, skills and foundations needed for an international career related to law, combining a deep knowledge of international and EU law with a knowledge of the basics of international affairs, economics and communications, following the liberal arts tradition. 

The resulting interdisciplinary orientation of this international and European law Bachelor is much sought after in the international and EU arena since most of the pressing international and European problems and concerns require such an approach. Hence, the curriculum does not concern courses focused on a particular national legal system, but rather courses with either a focus on international & EU law or with a broad comparative law perspective. 

The latter courses introduce our students to the central concepts and doctrines, general principles etc. The foundational courses of international and EU law acquaint students with the international system, the European integration process, and European and international law-making.

*Please note that, as of January 2026, TOEFL has updated its score scale from a 0-120 range to a 1-6 scale. The required TOEFL score for our BA programmes is now 4.5. Applicants who take the test on or after 22 January 2026 will receive the new 1–6 scores, whereas tests taken before that date remain evaluated under the previous scale (90 overall).
