LouvainX: Louv5x International Law

Certificate and international Law MicroMasters

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.

This is an option proposed for $150. You can upgrade by clicking on the "Upgrade to Verified Certificate" link on the right of the Course page. In this course, you have to upgrade before taking the Final Exam as this exam is different for Verified learners. At the latest, you can upgrade on August 1st.

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 get access to Live Sessions every three weeks with the Professor Pierre d'Argent. 
  • To allow you to pursue the International Law MicroMasters (see details below)

What does "verified" mean?
