A double competence in law and management!

Studying management and law simultaneously from the 1st year of higher education is possible! The ESDES university diploma (DU) “Legal tools for managers” has been specially designed to enable students enrolled in the ESDES Bachelor in Business program to strengthen their legal skills.

The proliferation of regulations and standards has made the managerial universe more sensitive to the law. Exercising the profession of manager thus increasingly requires mastery of the rules of law specific to his sector or his function (employment law, commercial law, intellectual property law, etc.). This dual skill is sought after by companies. Having a double manager/lawyer degree thus offers young graduates more and better paid job opportunities.

• 1st year – Semester 1: Company Law and Commercial Leases
• 1st year – Semester 2: Consumer Law and Tax Law
• 2nd year – Semester 3: Intellectual Property and Collective Proceedings
• 2nd year – Semester 4: Employment Law and Competition Law
