Study Plan 2026–2027

 

  • Students will complete the entire LL.M. programme and sit all the examinations at the partner university during their 5th year. 
  • Upon their return, all courses listed on the official Transcript of Records will be recognised as a block (Block Transfer Recognition), covering Luiss courses from the 4th year (2nd semester) and the 5th year (1st and 2nd semesters). The final dissertation will not be included in the credit transfer. 
  • Luiss dissertation: Students must choose a Luiss supervisor, follow Luiss's standard graduation procedures, and defend their dissertation in July, October/November, or March/April, depending on when the Transcript of Records is available. The processing of marks involves manual procedures, and Transcripts of Records must be received well in advance of the graduation session. Given this timeframe, please bear in mind that graduating in the summer session is generally not possible.  
  • Dissertation at the Partner University: If required, students will also complete a final dissertation for the partner university, following its specific guidelines and deadlines.
