Resulting from a partnership between the Euromed University of Fes (UEMF) and the Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, the Sorbonne-Euromed Institute for Business Law (ISEDA) program hosted in Morocco offers a Master's in Business Law directed by Professor François-Xavier Lucas, an excellence program whose faculty is composed of renowned French academics and recognized Moroccan and French practitioners.
Originality of the program
The major asset of this program lies in its double degree. Graduates obtain the Master's degree from Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, granting access to the French bar, and the Master's from UEMF, allowing access to the Moroccan bar.
The curriculum offers a complete and generalist education in business law by providing courses in all the major disciplines of the field (civil business law, competition law, corporate law, taxation, security interests law, banking law, international trade law, public business law) while offering specialization and enhanced training on various important topics (contract drafting techniques, arbitration law, restructuring law). Regional openness is ensured by modules dedicated to Moroccan law and African law (OHADA).
Theoretical teaching is enriched by practical seminars led by experts from international firms. Finally, a mandatory internship in a law firm or company and the writing of a research thesis complete this demanding program.
Profiles sought and career prospects
The program targets holders of a law degree from the French system or from universities in francophone Africa, particularly the Maghreb, seeking high-level specialization. Selection is rigorous, based on a file review followed by an interview of motivation. Graduates naturally move toward careers as lawyers (France/Morocco), corporate lawyers or legal officers within the international banking sector.
