The Master’s programme (LL.M.) in Specialised Law Studies at the Faculty of Law, Charles University, is a unique academic opportunity for students who wish to deepen their legal knowledge in a truly international environment. Taught entirely in English, the programme combines rigorous academic training with a practical approach to contemporary legal challenges. Its central aim is to equip students with the knowledge, analytical skills, and professional tools necessary to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving legal and political landscape.

What makes this programme distinctive is its European perspective. Law does not exist in isolation, and the ability to understand legal issues in their broader international context is becoming increasingly essential. The curriculum reflects this reality by combining a solid theoretical foundation with practical case studies, interactive seminars, and comparative approaches. Students learn not only to interpret and apply existing law, but also to evaluate how legal frameworks respond to social, economic, and ethical challenges across Europe and beyond.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the Specialised Law Studies programme will be well prepared for professional careers in a variety of international contexts. Depending on their chosen specialisation, they may work as legal consultants in multinational corporations, policy advisers in international organisations, or experts in NGOs focusing on human rights or healthcare. The skills acquired in this programme – including the ability to analyse complex cases, argue persuasively, and apply law across different jurisdictions – are highly valued in the global job market.

In addition, the programme offers a solid academic foundation for those interested in pursuing further studies. Graduates will have excellent preparation for doctoral programmes in law, whether at Charles University or at prestigious universities abroad.

It should be noted that this programme does not qualify graduates for regulated legal professions such as judges, attorneys, notaries, prosecutors, or bailiffs. Instead, it is designed for students who seek to expand their expertise in specialised legal fields with a strong international and European orientation, and who wish to apply their knowledge in diverse professional environments.
