LouvainX: Louv16x International Humanitarian Law

Verified Certificate and International Law MicroMasters program

Online students who have upgraded to verified and achieved a passing grade in International Law course will earn a Verified Certificate. These verified certificates indicate that you have successfully completed the course, but will not include a specific grade. Many students add their certificates to their resumé, CV, or LinkedIn profile to demonstrate mastery of a given subject area to potential employers. Certificates are issued by edX under the name of Université catholique de Louvain and are delivered online through your dashboard on edx.org.

The certificate is not an official diploma or degree from UCLouvain.

You can upgrade by clicking on the "Upgrade to Verified Certificate" link. This option is available till July 1st 23:30 UTC.

This course is part of the International Law MicroMasters program, currently composed of 5 courses.

Beware, this program is offered along with the old version of the program (composed of 4 courses and renamed "International Legal Studies"). This older program is currently offered until August 31st, 2022. If you'd like to get the certificate for the MicroMasters in International Legal Studies, you need to pass, in the certificating track, all 4 courses by Aug 31st, 2022.

Why upgrading to a certificate?


  • To impress your (future) employer with a verified certificate that documents your learning.
  • To share your new skills and knowledge with the world, securely through a dedicated link that edX provide.
  • To challenge yourself. Sometimes we all need that extra push. Working towards a certificate keeps you motivated.
  • To allow you to pursue the International Law MicroMasters (see details below)
