European Humanities University in collaboration with IIT Chicago Kent-College of Law offers a non-degree LL.M Certificate Program in “International Financial Services Law”. The program is part of School of American Law established at EHU by the agreement with IIT Chicago Kent-College of Law in July 2013.

The deregulation of financial services, tax reforms, globalization, technology, and revolutionary market forces are only some aspects of today’s legal environment: attorneys must constantly broaden their knowledge and sharpen their skills to handle the range of law-related issues arising in the rapidly evolving financial services industry. Chicago-Kent College of Law’s Program in Financial Services Law educates legal professionals to be effective in this volatile ever-changing environment. Ten courses are conducted exclusively either by full-time Professors or Adjunct Professors of Chicago-Kent College of Law with global industry experience.

Language of instruction: English

Advantages of the program:

• Fast-track and direct pathway to US LL.M.
