    About us:

    The University of Luxembourg is one of Europe's and the world's most highly-regarded "young" universities with a distinctly international and interdisciplinary approach. The University fosters the cross-fertilisation of research and teaching in targeted areas through which it is establishing itself as an innovative model for European Higher Education. The University's core asset is its well-connected, world-class academic faculty, which has been attracting the most motivated, talented, and creative students, as well as young researchers who enjoy taking up challenges and will likely innovate and contribute to the greater good.

    The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance offers numerous Bachelor, Master and Doctoral programmes as well as several continuing education courses. Around 2,500 students from 90 different nationalities are enrolled at the Faculty. Academic staff from 18 different nationalities teach at the Faculty, supported by practitioners from the field, visiting scholars and guest professors. Rooted in Luxembourg but with a European and international outlook, the Faculty counts three departments: (i) the Department of Law, (ii) the Department of Economics and Management, and the Department of Finance.

    Teaching and research benefit from the proximity of the European institutions, Luxembourg's world-class financial centre ranked second in the world in investment fund asset domicile, and its vibrant business community. Institutional and private sector partnerships, sponsored Chairs, and a growing network of international partner universities make the FDEF a vibrant academic hub within the University at the heart of Europe.
