PARIS, Nov. 7, 2022, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

SKEMA Business School inaugurated its law school "SKEMA Law School for

Business" in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, on 28 October 2022.

The creation of SKEMA Law School for Business is part of the school's SKY25

strategic plan, which aims to develop a 'comprehensive' institution to go

beyond management disciplines and respond to trans-disciplinary issues. This is

being done through the creation of three new schools in law, artificial

intelligence and, in the coming months, geopolitics.

The objective of the law school in Belo Horizonte is to train aspiring

professionals in the next 20 years with a global, multidisciplinary, and

technological approach, capable of acting in an international environment with

a multicultural prism.

SKEMA Law School for Business is structured around several programmes and

online courses:

A state-approved five-year Bachelor's in Business Administration programme that

prepares students for judicial law, technology law and business law.

Four master of science (MSc) programmes with several specialisations: digital

law, judicial law and technology, start-up law, AI and blockchain.

A 'Law and Artificial Intelligence' nano degree (online course, open to all)

The educational content is based on a network of international researchers.

According to Edgar Jacobs, coordinator of the law courses, 'The strength of

SKEMA Law for Business is that it offers students completely different

professional insertion perspectives, at the interface of law and new

technologies, which they did not have until now. This is because SKEMA Law

School for Business can combine traditional law teaching with all the areas of

expertise of the business school: international and multiculturalism,

management, ethics, new technologies, artificial intelligence, etc.'

For Geneviève Poulingue, Dean of SKEMA in Brazil, 'The law school focuses on

developing skills and competencies in our students that go beyond the basics of

law, with a focus on innovation in the curriculum and teaching practices. Our

intention is to train professionals prepared to work in the global and digital

context, with a focus on people, diversity, and ethics, without neglecting

basic and soft skills. In Brazil, this is an ideal combination for a degree of

excellence in the field of law.'

Established in Brazil since 2015, SKEMA has 1,000 students this year in its new

city campus, located in the heart of Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas

Gerais.
