At UNamur, the master’s and specialized master’s programs in law allow you to deepen your legal expertise in rapidly evolving fields. Some programs, such as the specialized master’s in digital law, are organized and coordinated directly by UNamur, while others are offered through inter-university collaboration, drawing on the recognized expertise of Namur’s researchers and faculty.

The Ph.D. program in legal sciences at the University of Namur is aligned with the Faculty of Law’s recognized research areas. Doctoral students develop an original research project within a dynamic academic environment, under the guidance of experienced researchers and as part of the Faculty’s research centers.The completion of a dissertation is based on a shared commitment between the doctoral student, their advisor, and the Faculty, in accordance with the Code of Ethics adopted in 2003.

Continuing education throughout one’s career has become essential in an ever-changing legal landscape. At the University of Namur, continuing legal education is designed for adults, professionals, and prospective students who wish to develop their skills, change career paths, or specialize. Whether it’s a part-time bachelor’s degree, a specialized master’s degree in digital law, or a certificate program, each program combines academic rigor, flexibility, and practical relevance.

How do I find a book or magazine? In the catalogueTo search the catalog, you must be in possession of bibliographic references. Beforehand you must perform a search by subject/matter in the legal databases available at the library (Jura, Strada lex, Jurisquare). Demonstration in pictures 1°) Enter one or more terms (title word, author,...) in the search bar of the Catalogue of the libraries of the University of Namur. Feel free to use quotation marks for less noise.2°) You get a list of results sorted by relevance. These can then be filtered using facets. If you select several values within a facet, the "OR" operator is applied EXCEPT for the "Author" and "Subject" facets, which apply the "AND" operator to refine the search.Select only physical resources or online resourcesDocument types: sort by number of occurrences.Book, text encompasses both books in paper and electronic format.Periodical encompasses both journals in paper and electronic format.Electronic resourceincludes only electronic referencesOther types of documents available: memoir, comic strip, video, thesis, maps and atlases, score, sound document, editorial collection, article, object...Please note, Open Access references in the UCL Institutional Directory are also included in the catalog>adding new document types: conference paper, working paper, contribution to a collective work, report, preprint, patent...Author: authors are classified by number of occurrences with a limit of 50.Library:"UNamur-Droit": includes all documents available at the CRIDS law library and documentation center.
