Diploma

The deadline to apply for the Diploma is March 1st 2011. Only the attendees to the Summer courses can apply to sit for the Diploma. The results (candidates allowed to take the exam) will be known by the end of April.

The Hague Academy of International Law awards a high-level diploma for students who already have a thorough knowledge of international law and who pass an examination in either public international law or private international law.

  • The examination is organised at the end of each session (public international law and private international law)
  • Candidats take written and oral examinations in English or French (at their option) in accordance with the conditions laid down by the Regulation.
  • Directed studies (in English or French) are organised in order to assist them in preparing for the diploma.
  • Since the number of places is limited, these are allocated depending upon the level and merit of the candidates. Applications are examined by the Secretary General under the authority of the Curatorium of the Academy.
  • A list of candidates who are accepted to sit for the diploma will be drawn up by the Secretary General and the Directors of Studies during the session.

The candidates' attention is drawn to the highly selective nature of the examination for this very high-level diploma.
