Bachelor in Licence - Droit

The Licence - Droit (Bachelor in Law) at the Institut Catholique de Lyon, located in Lyon, France, is a three-year bachelor-level program conducted in French. Law as a discipline develops systematic understanding of the rules, principles, and institutions that govern individual and collective life. Students in a French law licence typically study constitutional law, civil law, administrative law, criminal law, public and private international law, and legal history. The program cultivates skills in legal reasoning, case analysis, statutory interpretation, and written and oral argumentation — foundational competencies for a wide range of professional paths. Graduates may pursue master programs leading to careers as lawyers (avocats), notaries, judges, legal advisers, compliance officers, or civil servants, as well as roles in academic legal research. The Institut Catholique de Lyon is a private Catholic institution based in Lyon. The program starts in September and runs for 3 years, with instruction entirely in French.
