The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF) of the University of Luxembourg will provide a friendly international environment in which the selected PhD candidates will be supported to carry out their research in the field of law and supervised by faculty members. The doctoral programme aims to train lao lecturers for them to acquire solid academic and research skills in the legal field, in order in the long-run to strengthen the capacities of the Faculty of Law and Political Science of the National University of Laos.
