Hello everyone, I am new here, my name is Cyrielle. I would like to know: for someone who has completed their entire university course in law and would like to change direction, what are the possible fields for reorientation, please?
Kind regards
Hello, My name is François YOGO, and it is possible to change direction. I hold a bachelor’s degree in private law from the faculty. I have been admitted to the 4th year of corporate finance.
Welcome @Cyrielle_Marceline
First of all, you need to ask yourself a set of questions, here are some that might help you:
- What are my personal interests and how do they reflect in my choice of study programme?
- What are my professional aspirations and how can the chosen programme help me achieve them?
- What is the reputation of the institution or programme I am aiming for?
- What specific skills or qualifications will I acquire through this programme?
- What are the job prospects after completing this programme?
- Are there opportunities for reorientation if my interests change during my studies?
- How does the programme incorporate practical experiences or internships?
- What is the duration of the programme and how is it structured (courses, internships, projects)?
- What are the costs associated with this programme and what funding options are available?
- Can I pursue further studies after this programme to specialise further?
Do not hesitate to seek advice from those around you, sometimes our surroundings know us better than we know ourselves.

Now, if your question about reorientation is more about how you will justify this choice to avoid a potential negative opinion from the SCAC, motif-4 4, here is a list of potential programmes for reorientation if you have studied law:
-
Reconversion to Other Branches of Law:
You could specialise in another branch of law than the one you previously studied, such as international law, business law, tax law, environmental law, etc. -
Studies in Political Science:
Political science offers a good opportunity to diversify your skills while maintaining a legal foundation. You could thus move towards studies in international relations, public policy, public administration, etc. -
Management and Administration:
A Master’s in Management, Business Administration (MBA), or Human Resources Management could also be interesting options for you. These programmes often value legal skills. -
Business Schools:
Business schools also offer various programmes in finance, marketing, management, etc., and can be a good complement to your legal training. -
Communication and Journalism:
If you are interested in media, institutional communication, or journalism, there are specialised programmes that might suit you. -
Mediation and Conflict Resolution:
Legal skills are particularly valued in mediation and conflict resolution programmes. -
Teaching and Research:
If you enjoy teaching or researching, you could consider an academic path to become a lecturer-researcher in the field of law or a related discipline. -
Public Service and International Careers:
Consider a career in international organisations, NGOs, or public services where your legal skills would be highly valuable.
