either the teaching or administrative staff to be available all year and especially during the summer
vacation.
Section 2: Structure: double degree/diplȏme
2.1 Commitment to your studies:
The award is of a double degree, at Essex this will require you to study for at least forty eight hours
per week to achieve the work required for this very demanding course. Note; more time will be
required to be spent on in the course in France, as you will then be working at postgraduate level,
there will be more reading and researching to do. Also note that lectures in France can be anytime
between 08:00 to 22:00 and can also be on a Saturday.
The four degree is spent:
Year’s 1/Année 1 & Year 2/Année 2 are at the University of Essex, School of Law.
Year 3/Année 3 Licence (L3) and Year 4/Année 4 Master 1/Maitrise (M1) will be taken at one of the
partner universities in France, (if you were recruited in France, you go to the university that
recruited you).
2.2 Degree classification for the LLB
LL.B English & French Laws with Maîtrise (Master 1)
The LLB in English & French Law with Maîtrise Masters 1 is a four-year degree scheme, where
only the second (2nd), (40% of your mark) and fourth (4th), (60% of your mark) year’s count towards
your degree classification. To precede you MUST pass both the first (Essex 1st) and third (French
L3) years of the degree. The third year in France, Licence (L3) is zero weighted, and the mark is
converted to one English mark by using the final average mark given by the French university for
that academic year, proving that the L3 year has been passed and that you have the right to
proceed to the final fourth Maîtrise year.
Please note: the rules and regulations of any of the French partners on mark/semester weightings
are not taken into account by Essex for the conversion of Maîtrise marks. The marks are
converted by rules and regulations of Essex as being awarded is an English Law degree.
For more details see the Essex rules of assessment and appendix web site:
http://www.essex.ac.uk/students/exams-and-coursework/ppg/ug/default.aspx
The degree awarded from Essex is an LLB with Honours; the title of the degree awarded is English
& French Law with Maîtrise (Masters 1). This is a qualifying law degree as recognised by the
Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Council (BC) of England & Wales, and students
will be able to go onto the next professional stage of training if they wish to become a Solicitor or
Barrister in England & Wales.
2.3 Restrictions on the number of years of study
A ‘qualifying law degree’ is a degree that exempts you from the first stage of the professional
examinations to become solicitor or barrister. The Solicitors Regulation Authority and Bar Council
of England & Wales will not give a qualifying law degree if your study has taken more than six
years: if it happens, you can still obtain a LLB but not a ‘qualifying law degree’ (QLD) . For
England & Wales the SRA and BC may require you to take further compulsory law subjects before
being allowed to go on to the next stage of the legal training. This includes a requirement to take
an EU Law module in France.

Années 3 et 4 - Les formations optionnelles = Les diplômes universitaires à Lyon (DU)
1. En général
Ce ne sont pas des diplômes nationaux comme la licence ou les Masters. Ils sont délivrés par
l’université Jean Moulin.
Le plus souvent, des droits d’inscription supplémentaires et spécifiques sont demandés (environ
400 euros de plus, selon les cas).
Vous n’avez aucune obligation de suivre les formations qui aboutissent à la délivrance d’un
Diplôme Universitaire, mais ces diplômes représentent une valeur ajoutée à un parcours
‘classique’, ce qui n’est pas négligeable.
2. Les DU de droit étranger - L’Institut de droit comparé Edouard Lambert (IDCEL)
• L’Institut délivre des diplômes de droits étrangers dispensés dans la langue du droit
étudié:
• Droit allemand,
• Droit américain.
• Droits asiatiques (enseigné en français et en anglais ).
• Droit espagnol
• Droit italien
Compte tenu de votre cursus le DU de droit anglais ne vous est pas accessible
• Ce sont des diplômes universitaires vous offrant une connaissance de base d’un
système juridique étranger.
3. Pour les autres DU, consultez la page http://facdedroit.univ-lyon3.fr/formations/autresformations/les-diplomes-d-universite-en-droit-387255.kjsp?RH=ZYZYZYZYZYZYZYZYZYZYZY
4. Les formations de l’IEJ ne vous concernent qu’en Master 1 si vous voulez préparer
immédiatement le barreau ou l’ENM.
Les différences fondamentales entre Lyon et Essex
1. Les cours sont semestrialisés et commencent début septembre pour se terminer miavril.
2. Le régime d’examen.
1. Attentions l’assiduité aux TD est strictement contrôlée et plus d’une absence non
justifiée en TD peut bloquer votre accès aux examens terminaux de fin de semestre
2. Les examens sont des épreuves pratiques écrites pour les matières avec TD, un
écrit, un oral ou un QCM à la discrétion de l’enseignant pour les matières sans TD.
3. La première session d’examens du premier semestre a lieu entre décembre et
janvier et celle du second semestre entre mi-avril et mi-mai. La seconde session, ou
session de rattrapage, pour les deux semestres a lieu entre mi-juin et début juillet
3. Les tutorats de transition organisés par l’Institut de droit comparé (IDCEL) sont
obligatoires. Ils se déroulent en septembre.
4. Les tutorats pédagogiques organisés par la Faculté de droit sont facultatifs mais
sont une aide précieuse pour la réussite.
