ELGS - LLM in International Organizations (Cascais campus, Portugal)

The LLM in International Organizations is a prestigious one-year advanced degree offered by the European Law and Governance School (ELGS), under the academic leadership of the European Public Law Organization (EPLO), an established international organization with nearly two decades of experience in global law and governance.

Through a rich and dynamic curriculum, the LLM explores a wide range of key areas—including the legal foundations of international organizations (such as the UN, EU, WTO, AU), dispute resolution mechanisms, human rights law, international economic law, and the interaction between diplomacy and law in addressing global challenges.

What makes this program distinctive is its integration of academic excellence with practical, hands-on experience. Delivered in English at the ELGS campus in Cascais, Portugal—an ideal setting due to its proximity to Lisbon’s vibrant international community—students benefit from both classroom learning and direct exposure to legal practice and diplomacy. The program includes field visits to major international and national institutions, participation in legal simulations, and access to EPLO’s extensive global network of academics, practitioners, and policymakers.
