For students enrolled in the Specialized Master in European Law, the final mark consists of two components: (i) the written exam, which accounts for 75% of the final mark, and (ii) the practical sessions (travaux pratiques), which account for 25%. The evaluation of the practical sessions will only take place in the first examination session (première session).

For students who are not required to attend practical sessions, the final mark is based solely on the written exam.
